Did you know that lime juice is sourer than lemon? Found out in my
researches on making lime marmalade. Actually have to add baking soda to
lime marmalade so it will jell. Dunno how lime juice would affect the
taste of the tomato sauce tho. We use a lot of lime & tomato mixtures out
here in the wild and wooly west.
