okay Salt you ready for this.
Take Limes and cut them in half length ways.
Then slice them thin the other way and get the seeds out.

Leave the rinds on.
Put them in a kettle and almost cover with water.
Then how ever much water you use, use at the least the same amount of sugar.
Add a good shot of lime juice if you have it.
Chop up fine as many peppers as you want and add to it.
Now bring to a simmer and sit back and wait.
It should reduce by at least 1/2 or more, more is better.
You will be able to tell how lone because it will start to look like boiling sugar.
It you turn it up to high it will foam up and boil over.
You can also add some pectin if you want about 1 or 2 heaping table spoons per quart will do with the powdered stuff.
When it looks like most of the liquid is cooked out it will be ready.
As the water cooks out the temperature will get hotter.
If you cook it down too far you have made hot pepper lime candy.

You simply cant mess up if you keep an eye on it.

Don't forget to sat to taste after it has cooked down.

If you do it before it is cooked down it will be too salty.

And you can also add vinegar if you want after it is cooked down some.
