Its from Maida Heatter's New Book of Great Desserts. KEY LIME PIE 1 1/2 c. Graham cracker crumbs 1/4 c. sugar 1/2 t. cinnamon 1/4 t. nutmeg 1/2 stick melted unsalted butter Mix above ingredients together and press into a nine inch pie plate. 4 egg yolks 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 c. key lime juice * Mix the eggs and the milk together. Slowly add the lime juice. Pour this mixture into the crumb crust. Refridgerate overnight. Its optional to add whipped cream to the top, or to top the pie with merienge. This pie is absolutely wonderful. It is the only decent recipe that I have ever found. One thing that is very important is to use Key Lime juice rather than lime juice which you find up here. Key lime juice can be ordered by mail from Mrs. Biddle's candy Store, 528 Front St. Key West, FL. 33040 (305) 296-5733. The juice is cheap ($2.50 bottle) and one bottle contains 2 cups juice. By the way, I often double the recipe for the filling which makes for a thicker filling. This pie is fabulous and most authentic.Enjoy!!! Pattie Maples Ford Aero./Palo Alto
