| Ingredients: | commercial graham cracker crust - thinnest possible
1 can sweetened condensed milk 6-7 big limes or 20 key limes (about 1 c juice) |
||
| Preparation: | Lightly grate all of the key limes or 2-3 of the big limes -- this is the essential step. If you grate the limes into a bit of lime juice it will stay nice and green and not brown in the air.
Juice the limes (doing this before grating makes the grating step onerous); add the grated lime peel. Add all of the lime peel and most of the lime juice to the sweetened condensed milk, holding back just a little milk. Keeping adding lime juice just until the lime / milk mixture starts to get less congealed; add remaining milk. Pour the peel / lime / milk concoction into the graham cracker crust. Add a meringue topping and bake until golden brown. The double-extra probation secret is that this is actually better with normal limes rather than key limes! |
