Key Lime Pie
This is a favorite Florida recipe. Key Lime trees grow easily in back yards of South Florida homes. The fruit when mature is yellow and is smaller and
more round in size than a regular lime. The pie will be a pale yellow in color with white meringue.
6 eggs separated (yolks and whites)
1/2 cup of Key lime juice (regular lime juice may be substituted)
3/4 cup sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 baked pie shell
Bowl #1 - Beat egg yolks until lemon colored. Blend in condensed milk.
Slowly add lime juice and mix well.
Bowl #2 - Add cream of tartar to egg whites and beat until foamy.
Continue beating adding sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until egg whites peak.
Fold 6 Tablespoons of the meringue into the filling mixture in bowl #1.
Pour filling mixture into a nine inch baked pie shell.
Top with remaining meringue and bake in a slow oven until meringue is golden brown.
When cool refrigerate for storage. Cut and serve when pie has chilled.
Tangy and sweet. Enjoy!
