Servings: 8
Categories: Desserts / Pies & Pastries

Ingredients:
1  9 Inch  pie crust, prepared and baked
12  Ounces  sweetened condensed milk
1/2  Cup  KEY lime juice, (no substitutes!!!)
4    eggs, separated

Directions:
Combine condensed milk, egg yolks, and Key Lime Juice. Pour into crust. Top with stiffly beaten egg whites for meringue. Brown quickly and lightly. Refrigerate. Serves 6-8.

Key limes are as different from "regular" limes as peaches are from pears. The very definition of a "key lime pie" is a pie made with juice from key limes. A pie made with any other kind of lime juice may be tasty, but it is NOT a key lime pie!! Beware: Some unscrupulous vendors are marketing things like "Key West Lime Juice" (Trader Joe's here in California is one of the guilty). This means absolutely nothing; the juice in the bottle is NOT key lime juice; they are just trying to fool you with the name. Read the ingredients list -- if it doesn't say key lime juice then it isn't key lime juice. Curtis ------------------------------
