Expert Tips

• A native Florida fruit, Key limes are smaller, rounder, more yellowish in color and more tart than the prevalent green Persian limes. If Key limes aren’t available in your grocery store, look for bottled Key lime juice near the other bottled lime juices.
• Make it easier. Pick up a frozen ready-made crust and bake as directed on the package. Or, use a ready-made graham cracker crust.
