Hi All, Over the holiday weekend I made the Key Lime Pie Recipe from the book (page 113). Everyone loved it. My "crust" didn't get ground as fine as the one in the picture, and I thought that might be a problem, but wasn't. I also could not find any Key Lime juice at the grocery store. so I looked on line and found a website with tips,they said to add lemon juice or ascorbic acid to the persian lime juice to get the acidity up near key lime. http://members.tripod.com/~lee30/ It worked, one of the guests was from down south and he loved it. So the lemon juice worked!![](icons/icon_smile_wink.gif) The pie was gone in minutes! I'm going to work from this recipe using the basic ingredients but increasing it to make it in a cake pan to feed more people next time. Try it you'll like it. KarenP

I must say I'm enjoying the cookbook part of the book! Wish there were more recipes!
I made the cherry pie for the 4th and it became legendary in seconds! The crust was almost like a butter cookie, and I loved how the filling turned out. I was so proud of that pie.
I have never made a key lime pie, even though there's key limes all over this town in October (South Florida). I will have to make one when they come into season.
