![]() One bottle of Nellie and Joe’s is two cups so you can make two pies! (Eat one and give on to a friend!!!) I’m a BIG believer in fresh citrus but this is a place you won’t be able to tell the difference. This stuff has been around so long my mom remembers my grandmother using it to bake key lime pie. Instead I buy the classic yellow Nellie and Joe’s bottle of squeezed key lime juice. Key limes are tiny and beautiful but I don’t care to squeeze a bazillion of them to make a cup of lime juice for a pie! Only recently as people have become more cautious of eating raw egg yokes has this become a pie you bake in the oven. The pie was thickened by a chemical reaction caused by mixing the egg yokes, milk and lime juice. ![]() Fresh milk was not something everybody had on hand and of course refrigeration was not available so canned milk was used instead. The History of Authentic Key Lime Pieĭid you know that the original key lime pie was not baked? Authentic key lime pie originated in Key West, Florida in the 1880s. Shaking the pie back and forth gently should produce a slight jiggle without the pie being sloppy. I find this pie sets up very well and if your oven is accurate you can simply set your timer for 10 minutes and then pull the pie. Bake your pie for a few minutes until it has a just little jiggle to the center. Stick on a few wedges of lime if you feel fancy!Ī good key lime filling is soft but set.
