Key Lime Pie is quintessentially American to me. Along with the likes of apple pie, whipped cream in a can and pick-up trucks. Key Lime Pie is in diners on the telly and in Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta books. So when Kara made a recent trip to visit family in Florida we asked her if her mom knew how to make Key Lime Pie – she did! While we were in New York last weekend we got a couple of tweets from Kara reporting that she had a recipe and had procured some limes.
The limes and a lovingly written-out recipe were on my desk on Friday.
I grated a couple.
Squeezed a few million!
Baked the shell and filling until it ‘jiggled slightly’.
Piled whipped cream on top.
Cut a slice to take to Kara.
YUM! It was delicious, although not green as I was expecting. I thought it would be lime green! Thanks Mamma Kara!

Catherine! Thank you so much! It was even more delicious than it looks here. Look out, now my mamma would like Flickr and Twitter lessons. She reports that you are ‘Food Network’ ready :).
