# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It’s the easiest way to make fruit exciting for gatherings, and the lime sugar feels like a secret magic trick.

02 -
  • If you don’t dry the grapes well, the sugar will clump and slide right off—learned that after my first batch.
  • Letting the lime zest sit in the sugar for a few minutes intensifies the flavor and aroma.
