Slow Cooker Lemon and Lime Delicious
This recipe calls for caster (castor) sugar. In the US, we don't find caster sugar, but you can make your own. The best method is to use a coffee grinder (cleaned out, of course) and process white sugar it in small batches until you have the amount called for in the recipe. You can also use a blender or food processor. Caster sugar isn't as fine as powdered sugar and it incorporates into the recipe better than white sugar.
