Clean the white pith off the limes.
Cut limes in half, squeeze the juice into a container and put it to one side.
Mash or roughly chop the lime halves and place them in a cheesecloth bag.
Place the lime zest, cheesecloth bag, water and juice in a large pan and leave to soak over night.
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the zest is soft.
Add the sugar and stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved.
Boil, stirring frequently, until the mix reaches setting point.
