Cleaning detail

This is what I know here as a Kaffir lime and in case that causes offence it is also known as a Makrut lime.  I have a tree that is doing pretty well in my back yard.   I tend to use the leaves more than the fruit in cooking although if you hit the fruit with a large mallet, you could get some juice out of it.  It has extremely thick skin which is also good in cooking.   Speaking of which, I should think about doing a green curry soon where this and the leaves will feature.

The fruit are quite small hence the use of the tinies to do the cleaning.
