Key Lime Pie

Contributed by The Guy With the Cats and frisson (tgwtc28@hotmail.com)

This is a recipe for Key Lime Pie. It's from the grandmother of a friend of mine. She was born and has spent her whole life in the Keys so it's an authentic "conch" recipe, although most likely slightly modernized.:

Ingredients

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh off the tree is prefered, but you can
• also get it in a bottle if you are geographically challenged)
• 9" graham cracker pie crust
• 6 tablespoons of sugar
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

Combine sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and lime juice. Pour into pie shell. Beat egg whites until frothy and gradually add sugar and cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form. Top pie with meringue and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until meringue is browned.

Then sit back and enjoy!
