Ginger lime jam

Ingredients (makes 2 medium jars):
10 large limes
3 bulbs ginger, skinned and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups castor sugar

Method:
1. Sterilise the glass jars by submerging in water and bringing to the boil for 2 minutes.
2. Skin 7 limes with a vegetable peeler.
3. Chop skinned limes into chunks. Extract the juice from the remaining 3 limes.
4. Place ginger slices into a presser to extract the juice. Alternatively, pound with a pestle and mortar, and squeeze out the juice.
5. Place lime chunks, lime juice, ginger juice, brown sugar and sugar in a pot and cook over very low heat for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
6. Keep stirring for 20 minutes until the mixture caramelises and thickens. Remove from heat, and cool completely before spooning into glass jars.

Tips:
For more bite, shred the leftover ginger and throw it into the jam mixture.
