3/8 c Lime juice
1 Lime or lemon rind grated
1 Eggs
1 Pie shell 9 inch
3 tb -Water hot
1/4 ts Salt
1 c -Water
Beat the egg yolks, add the lime juice, grated rind,
hot water, salt and 1/2 cup of sugar.Cook this mixture
in a double boiler until it thickens. Add 1/2 cup of
the sugar(or what is remainder) to the stiffly beaten
egg whites. Fold into the cooked mixture and spoon
into the pie shell. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10
minutes. This pie can be garnished with whipping
cream. Because of the danger of uncooked egg yolks
this recipe is often as alternative to the older
versions. Especially in the United States it is
recommended that uncooked egg yolks should not be used
under any circumstances.
