Ginger Lime Crush Recipes

Steps:

• Fill cones with snow, drizzle with syrup and juice lime on top. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Special equipment: a meat tenderizer
• Combine 5 cups water and the turbinado sugar and ginger in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Let cool to room temperature.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan and place in the freezer. Freeze until completely frozen, about 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Take the pan out of the freezer when it becomes a giant ice cube. Smash the frozen block with a meat tenderizer and scoop crushed granita into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with lime zest and serve immediately. Freeze any remaining granita until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, and ginger in a saucepan over medium heat. Gently simmer and stir for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved ¿ do not allow the syrup to boil or get dark. Remove from the heat, cover, put in the refrigerator, and let steep until cold.
• Strain the lime juice into a blender. When the syrup is cold, fish out the ginger slices and pour the syrup into the blender. Add the lime zest. Then add the chopped mint and crushed ice and process until slushy. Spoon the slushy into bowls, garnish with mint leaves, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place cranberries, ginger, cranberry syrup, and both bitters in a mixing glass; muddle until cranberries pop and release their juice. Add ice, gin, Ramazzotti and lime juice; shake until chilled.
• Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add a splash of tonic water and garnish with lime twist.

Steps:

• Put the butter, muscovado sugar, treacle and ginger syrup in a saucepan. Heat for a few mins, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool for 5 mins. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm-deep round cake tin with baking parchment.
• Whisk the milk into the butter mixture, then add the eggs and beat well to combine. In a large bowl, mix the flour, bicarb and ground ginger. Pour in the buttery liquid and stir well to combine, making sure there are no pockets of flour. Add the stem ginger and lime zest, and stir again.
• Pour into the cake tin and bake for 1 hr 15 mins. To check if the cake is cooked, insert a skewer into the centre of the cake - if any uncooked cake mixture sticks to the skewer, return the cake to the oven for a further 10 mins, then check again. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Split the cake into 2 or 3 layers with a long, serrated knife. Spread the lime marmalade or curd between the layers then reassemble.
• In a small bowl, mix the lime juice and icing sugar until thick and smooth, adding a little extra icing sugar if it's too runny. Transfer to a sandwich bag, squeeze down into one corner and twist shut, then snip off a tiny bit of the corner. Drizzle in stripes over the cake. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the sugar crystals or cubes, with half the lime zest, to a chunky rubble and scatter over the top of the cake. Finish by sprinkling with the remaining zest. Will keep in a tin for up to 1 week - it tastes great on the day it's made, but even better after a day or two in the tin.

Steps:

• Line a 18 x 23 cm roasting tin with foil, then lightly grease. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put a baking sheet in to heat up. Crush the biscuits until very fine.
• Mix the crumbs and butter together well, then press into the bottom of the tin, squashing down firmly. Slide tin onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 mins until very dark golden all over.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Stir the flour and sugar together, make a well in the middle, then work in the eggs and yolk until smooth. Mix in the lime zest and juice. Pour the filling onto the hot base, return to the oven and turn the heat down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Bake for 20 mins or until set in the middle. Cool on a wire rack, then cut into bars.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
• To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
• To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
• Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
