Key Lime Effort

Last week the grocery store had bags of key limes, so I bought one thinking I would try to make a key lime pie, probably my favorite dessert. When I sampled the first lime last week and got only a drop or two of the precious liquid, I knew it would be a time consuming task. The limes started to get old waiting for me, but I did put the pie on my to do list today. I used all of the little limes and managed to get a half cup of juice, just enough for an eight inch pie. Anxious to get it on my blog, I cut a messy slice before it had time to cool, and it was delicious anyway. Worth all the squeezing.
