Lime tart
by:
Much is made about Key lime pie, but you can make a perfectly delightful pie, based on a lime custard, with everyday supermarket limes. Aficionados of Key lime pie insist that it be made with condensed milk, but cream is used in this recipe. Substitute condensed milk if you like, but if you use sweetened condensed milk such as Eagle brand, reduce the sugar in the recipe by half.
