Key Lime Pie


KEY LIME PIE
by Gourmet Sleuth
This is a recipe for "real" Key Lime pie.  Real Key lime pie is not green and it does not have a sof "pudding" texture.  The pie gets its true pale yellow color from the egg yoolks that predominate the ingredient list.  The texture is a  firm custard.  Be CAREFUL that you do not over-bake the pie, or it will be "rubbery"  For best results use fresh limes/.

First make a Graham Cracker Crust and bake until light brown.

Filling:
4 large egg yolks
1- 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp grated lime peel (green portion only)
whipping cream garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Use and electric mixer and beat egg yolks until they are thick and turn to a light yellow, do not over mix. Turn mixer off, add the sweetened condensed milk.  Turn spreed to low and mix in half the lime juice.  Once the juice is incorporated add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until blended (just a few seconds).  Pour the mix into the cooked pie shell and bake at 350 degree F for 12 minutes to set the yolks.  Do NOT over bake.

Pioneer Women's Chili

I am not a chili fan. I find most of them very heavy on the tomatoes or very spicy. Taber thought loves chili and wanted me to find a recipe. After a fails (They were pretty bad) I found Pioneer women's recipe. For the first time I actually ate an entire bowl of chili and Taber asked when we were going have it again. Here is the recipe.
At the end I include your website, she adds pictures to a lot of recipes, which is nice.
