I have this postcard! OMG LOL… I bought it when I was 8 years old on a trip to Key West with my family….to tell the truth, I just thought the picture was pretty. Never sent it, just kept it in my collection…I later lived in Key West…make this same recipe without the added egg white, and without meringue..whipped creme tastes better. This can be frozen also just fine..

If there are no access to key limes, I have found that using 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 persian lime juice tastes very similar to key limes…

It’s got the right amount of tartness that makes the difference!

Thank you for blast from the past^^

I have to make a pie now, just because^^
