Just curious…could we use acar powder available in desi stores? I have made it with just chili powder like your recipe, then I thought that achar powder might be better? Not sure…appreciate your comments on it.

Bhavana: Welcome to the Pickle a Month Sangham.
I look forward to reading about your keylime pickle experience.

Kalva, Sreelu, Jyothi: Thanks.

Mona: That’s great! How did you make it? Did you add anything extra/special?

Arundati: Thanks. Me too.

Vineela: Gongura too? Yum! Nenu inka gongura mokkalu peddaga kaavalani chustunnanu.

Dear Kay, I remember our notes for that pickle recipe.:) So glad to read that you had great experience with lemon pickle. Thank you for your sunshine like comments.

BDSN: He must be keeping you busy. Looking forward to reading more about your cutie-pie at your blog.

Cilantro: The regular limes, they take some time but make tasty pickle.

DK: First plums, now you write lemons. Can we exchange our backyards, please?

Diane: Congratulations on mastering the chapati and parathas. Well, pickles are a breeze to make. Only difficult thing in this health-conscious times is finding people who enjoy them.:)

Zoom: Thanks and look forward to reading your experience of this pickle.
Have you tried chapatis (frozen section, 30 for $6) at Costco? They make good meal with a side dish.

Hello Madhuri:
Thanks for all your nice comments. I greatly appreciate your notes.
With lemons, I think you have to add more lime/lemon juice and also salt. And it would take more than two weeks for them to get softened. But lemon pickle taste wonderful. All the best.
Please let me know the changes to the quantity you have made if you try this pickle with regular lemons. Thanks.

Vicky: The chilli powder photographed is homemade at Nandyala. I, myself don’t make chilli powder at home here. I usually buy or get it from India. Aashirwaad brand, lal mirchi powder.

Hari Chandana: Mine too.:) Thanks.

Hi Karthi: Thanks for the good words. Let me know how you like this pickle if you try.

Madhuram: your guess is right.:) The other lemon pickle is at old website, 95 Archives. Check it out.

Linda: I am adding your maple syrup to payasams and to pancakes. Parents are enjoying the flavor. Thank you for this wonderful gift.

Tigress: The only thing with lemon/lime pickle is the wait period. Much longer compared to other pickle varieties. But I think the taste is worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing the lime pickle photos at your blog.

Ranjan: So glad you could make those dahi mirchis at home.
Like dahi mirchis, this pickle is also spicy and tangy. I think you are going to enjoy it.

Indira, the pickle looks so so good. I must try and find some small limes now as I am pickle addict (ready made) but am going to try this receipe. By the way the Dahi Mirchi turned out wonderful as we have had a mini heatwave here in the UK they have dried perfectly. Thank you and your mother in law for sharing these recipes.

this looks like a wonderful recipe! i have never used key limes when i make lime pickle, but you have inspired me to try. i am STILL waiting for my lime pickles to be done that i started 7 weeks ago. i made it from regular american limes with very thick skins which are taking forever to soften!

Love the pickles with so little oil — if I see key limes I will certainly give this a try! Loved the photos of the fresh farmer’s market, too

Indira, when you mentioned in your previous post that you bought 25 key limes for 1$, I guessed that you are going to post a pickle recipe soon. Very refreshing pictures. I have to see the other recipe too which Kay has mentioned.

Hi Indira:
I am definitely going to try them. Hope everyone is doing good.. I love your garden pic and i know you enjoy your garden, it is soothing, inviting and tempting
I have always wanted to try pickle, and always feel it is something to do with the involving hands: recently i got a bottle lemon pickle made by maternal gandma and is absolutely delicious and relish them..this looks good, i found bags of key limes in TJ’s.. i will let you know whenever i try them.
