I goofed a couple of years back and killed my lime tree, so I just have wrinkly, ugly Volkamer lemons.
Ted just an idea but try zesting you lemon and lime peels. that way you only get the outer part of the peel where the most flavor is. A zester is really nothing more than a real fine grater. My wife and I cook many different recipres that call for lemon zest.
