3/8 c Lime juice 3 tb -Water hot
1 Lime or lemon rind grated 1/4 ts Salt
1 Eggs 1 c -Water
1 Pie shell 9 inch
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.
