MOM'S KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare 9" graham cracker crust, cool. You might like this Graham cracker crust better than the store ones. 12 whole graham crackers, crushed 3 T. brown sugar 6 T. butter 350 degrees for 12"
• 2. Mix 1 can Borden's Eagle Brand milk with ½ cup fresh lime, Key Lime or lemon juice. Stir until it thickens. Add green food coloring carefully.
• 3. Pour into cooled crust and cover with ½ pint of whipped sweetened cream (I like heavy cream as it holds up longer). Refrigerate. Best if cut after it has chilled well.

LIME JELLO PIE

Steps:

• Whisk the jello mix and boiling water until fully dissolved. Whisk in the cold water.
• Fold the cool whip into the jello mixture. until well combined.
• Refrigerate pie filling in the bowl for 30 minutes. Then mix again with a rubber spatula.
• Transfer the jello mixture to the pie crust and spread so the top is flat.
• Chill the pie for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing. I like to top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and lime slice.
