    Mamma's Tahiti Lime Pie

    From Mamma's notebook. She made a note that she had this November 25, 1988--Thanksgiving. I don't know if she served it or had someone else's. Few of her recipes have dates. It took me years to learn to date them. Wish I'd started doing it when I was a young bride. We'd never have served poor old Paul W. burned, I mean grilled, chicken twice in a row.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 1/3 cup cornstarch
    • 3 eggs, separated
    • 1/3 cup lime juice and pulp
    • 1 lime rind, grated
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 drop green color
    • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1 cooled pie crust


    Instructions


    1. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a sauce pan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps; cook until mixture is thick and clear, about 1 minute.
    2. Blend part of hot mixture into beaten egg yolks, then combine with remaining hot mixture.
    3. Cook 1 minute longer over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add juice, rind, butter and coloring.
    4. Cool thoroughly, stirring occasionally. Pour into shell.
    5. Beat egg whites until stiff; add 6 tablespoons sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread meringe over pie.
    6. Bake at 375 deprees for 12 minutes.
