We have been residents of South Florida since 1956 when my husband was stationed at Homestead Air Force Base. We quickly became acquainted with KEY LIME PIE, and planted a Key Lime tree in our yard. Each time we up-graded to a larger house, we planted a new tree. After you have tasted the REAL taste of Key Limes, any substitution of bottled juice or Persian limes turns your stomach. I squeeze my "bounty" and freeze in Ziplock snack bags and this juice is also used for Key Lime Bread, Tabouleh, and Key Lime cookies. I now have the very best, though not the original, Key Lime pie recipe, but I am sworn to secrecy by my friend who gave it to me. Wish I could share it!
Well, Carolyn, we wish you could share it too! But perhaps, without your own Key lime tree right in the yard, it wouldn't be the same, anyway... Thanks for connecting here - PJH
