Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon lime zest from 4 limes
- 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice from 1 small lemon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- 1 cup fresh lime juice from about 8 limes

Instructions
- Reduce: Combine lime zest, ginger, lemon juice, cinnamon and cardamom in a small bowl; set aside. Combine lime juice, sugar and salt in a small, heavy, nonreactive saucepan over high heat. Simmer until syrupy and honey-colored, about 15 minutes–mixture should be reduced to ¼ cup. Remove pan from heat and add ginger mixture. Steep for 2 minutes and strain.

- Serving Option: For an elegant brunch option, serve individual portions spooned over Greek yogurt in parfait glasses.
I am on my way to Israel making Aliyah and I am told Blueberries (one of my favorite fruits) is one of those fruits you can’t really get, it may be around for a very short bit, but will also be expensive, so you will have to modify this one, I am sure whatever you can find will be great.
The fruit salad looks so good, but where can I find blueberries in
Jerusalem please?
