Limes, Limes, Limes: Key lime pie!

Limes. My guess is you either like them or you don't! Over the years, I have acquired a taste for the tart fruit. I have done some experimenting with them in baking as well.

Check out this easy key lime pie recipe:

Easy Key Lime Pie

• 3 eggs, separated
• 1 can, 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 2-3 drops green food coloring (option)
• 1 unbaked pie crust
• 1/2 tsp. cream of tarter
• 1/3 cup sugar 

Pre-heat oven to 325*.

Beat egg yolks. Then, add in milk and lime juice.

Stir in food coloring and pour into crust.

Bake 30 minutes.

Remove from oven.

Turn oven temp up to 350*.

In a clean mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tarter to soft peaks.

Gradually add sugar, a little at a time.

Beat until stiff, about 4 minutes.

Spread over warm pie. Spread to the edges (prevents meringue from shrinking).

Bake 15 minutes.

Cool for about 1 hour, chill at least 3.

Store in fridge, covered.
