THGL · 12-09-2009, 07:35 PM

On Thanksgiving, my great-uncle drove up from Florida and brought with him a bushel or so of key limes from his grove. I got my fair share and juiced enough for 8 pies.

I've had an idea rolling around my head for some years now, I'd like to see if I can add a little alcohol to the recipe. I do bake mine (350 for 10 min.) instead of the traditional no-bake style.

Would adding an ounce or two of alcohol change how the pie sets? If so, how would I go about getting it to set properly?

Thanks!
