Kitchen Hints;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enjoy this great tasting and light key lime pie. Don’t worry, it’s just as
flavorful as the original.
Make it easier. Pick up a frozen ready
~ made crust and bake in a glass pie
plate as
directed on the package. Or, use a ready ~ made graham cracker crust.
Purchasing;
A native Florida fruit, Key Limes are smaller, rounder, more
yellowish in color and more tart than the prevalent green Persian
limes. If Key Limes aren’t available in your grocery store, look for
bottled Key Lime juice near the other bottled lime juices. If need
be, you can use the limes in your local store. |
