Cast iron citrus squeezer -do they work? I got one at a local Mexican supermarket for under $5. Works great. I put it in the dishwasher - I don't think it was ruined. This device separates out most of the seeds, and what is left can be filtered out by pouring the juice slowly to another cup. |

What's your favorite Key Lime Pie recipe? Pepe's (for both filling and crust) is one of the best recipes. http://www.pepescafe.net/klp.htm |

What's your favorite Key Lime Pie recipe? I've tasted/made a bunch (15?) of key lime pies in the last month, and my recommendation is to use the freshly squeeze juice from key limes. The fresh squeezed juice adds a great limey flavor without the acidity that you get from bottled key lime juice (e.g. Nellie's, Kermit's). I used 1 pound of fresh key limes, squeezed using a metal squeezer that I got from a Mexican grocery store for under $5: yielded about 5/8 key lime juice. The metal squeezer filters out most of the seeds, which is great; the remaining seeds you can easily get out by pouring slowly. |
