Key Lime Pie recipe?

Actually I think I may make a pie today... :-)

Does that mean you have a recepie you use that you can pass on to me...?

Vicky

I'll tell you what... I'll go make one and write down any changes I make and send them along to you tonight.  Promise. 

Wicked!!!

I am going to do a Selfridges run this evening to see if they have Key Limes/Key Lime Juice.  If there is anyone in the UK who wants any, and who hasn't already told me, send me a PM.

We were just in the Keys in April and we had some sublime Key Lime in Marathon.  The place we stayed at in Key Largo gave us a going away present of Key Lime Juice.  The key limes are very small compared to regular limes.  I found out that most key limes that are sold commercially actually come from Mexico now as they have much larger quantities of them there.  I had a key lime ice cream at Blond Giraffe but wasn't nearly as impressed as the pie itself.
Key lime pies can be rather strong so I can see why some would not like them.  But we thought they were fabulous.
There seems to be a certain snobbery around using squeezed key limes instead of the juice but I can't imagine I'd taste much of a difference.  We still have to use the juice we were given, maybe I'll make a pie in the next week, mmmmmm

I have a serious craving for Key Lime Pie now.  Thanks .

Well, despite Selfridges having a pretty big American food section, no Key Lime juice.  I may try Harrods tomorrow.

They do have Hersheys, Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese among other things if anyone is interested.

Vicky

sometimes you'll find key lime juice in the section where they sell mixers for cocktails!

I asked, they don't have it.

 


But thanks, i'll remember that when I check in Horrids.
