First I grated the zest from the limes.
Then I heated them in the microwave for a few seconds, about 20 and juiced them for some Limeade. (5 limes) Mix in 2 cups of sugar in a gallon container, top with cold water, chill and serve.
Then I took the remnants and tossed them into a jar of vinegar to make homemade cleaner.
(Just toss in several, top with vinegar, steep for at least a week or more, strain, pour into spray bottle, top with water and a drop or two of essential oil if desired.)
How's that for frugal?!?

I had burned something on my flattop the other day and sprayed this on and let it soak and it took it off without much scrubbing at all!

Hi Donna,
May I ask what is in the canning jar? I'm thinking the spray bottle has the lime in it?
You are so resourceful, I love it!
Sorry, I should have made that clearer here. I posted about it in another place so....lol...anyway.
I 'marinate' (for lack of better word) the rinds in vinegar for a week or so in a dark cabinet. Then I strain the vinegar and pour it into a spray bottle--and TA-DA! Cleaner! you can dilute if you like and/or add a few drops of a store-bought cleaner to enhance the smell.
I keep this on my sink and clean everything with it!
You can use ANY citrus fruit---lime seems to clean the best for me but I use whatever.
