Floribbean cuisine is a fusion of Floridian and Caribbean tastes and style. Floribbean cooking combines the distinct tastes of coconut, mango, peppers, bananas, plantains,or other fruits and nuts. The preparation of these foods is an art. The emphasis is on fresh fish or seafood with the vibrant colored tropical fruits. A typical Floribbean dish is coconut curried sea bass with mango crab, spinach slaw and caramelized bananas.

Travelers come to the Florida Keys for the sun, the sand and the scenery of America gone Caribbean. They come for bone-fishing in the morning, margaritas at midday and sunsets. And before it's time to depart, everybody wants a piece of Key lime pie.

What is the history of key lime pie? 

Key Lime Pie was known in the Florida Keys "as far back as the 1850s." It don't doubt it a bit because in those pre-refrigerator days, fresh milk was a poor keeper. What local cooks had learned to rely on was the sweetened condensed milk Gail Borden had begun canning shortly before the Civil War." The recipe developed with the advent of sweetened condensed milk in 1856. Since there were few cows on the Keys, the new canned milk was welcomed by the residents and introduced into a pie made with lime juice. The original pies were made with a pastry crust, but a crust made from graham crackers later became popular and today is a matter of preference, as is the choice between whipped cream and meringue toppings.

KEY LIME PIE RECIPE

Key lime pie gets its true pale yellow color from the egg yolks.

The texture should be a firm custard.Use fresh Key Limes.

i n g r e d i e n t s (crust)
16 graham crackers, crushed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cube (1/4 lb) margarine or butter

d i r e c t i o n s (crust)
Mix the ingredients and press them into a 9" pie plate. 

 Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 10 - 12 minutes until lightly browned.

Place on a rack to cool.

_________________________

i n g r e d i e n t s (pie)
4 large or extra large egg yolks
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (approximately 12 Key limes)
2 teaspoons grated lime peel, green portion only
Whipping cream for garnish (optional)

d i r e c t i o n s (pie)
Use an electric mixer and beat the egg yolks until they are thick and turn to a light yellow, don't over mix. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk.  Turn speed to low and mix in half of the lime juice. Once the juice is incorporated add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until blended (just a few seconds).   Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake at 350F for 12 minutes to set the yolks and kill any salmonella in the eggs.


s e r v i n g
If you are using the whipping cream garnish, prepare the cream.  Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

A Pirate Looks At Fifty We are indeed the people our parents warned us against! Our generation, the Boomers,  we have been through a lot. They were the best of times.  They were the worst of times. We are now approaching the summer of our  years. Part of that stage of life is reflecting on what we have done and what we will do with tommorrow.  We are growing older, but are younger then that now.
