Village Tips:
*Key limes are small limes grown in south Florida that are sometimes quite expensive and difficult to find. You can purchase bottled Key lime juice in most gourmet markets. If you can’t find Key limes or Key lime juice, use regular lime or lemon juice.

*For a lemon version of this pie, use lemonade concentrate instead of the limeade concentrate and omit the Key lime juice and green food coloring.


Recipe



A shortbread crust gives a rich, buttery contrast to the tart lime filling of this pie. So prepare your favorite Buttery Shortbread then press the dough into the pie plate and bake it at 350F for 15 minutes. Let the crust cool completely before spooning the filling into it.
