"This is a great recipe for a traditional key lime pie. Key limes are also known as Mexican or West Indian limes. If you can't find them in your area, substitute bottled Key lime juice. The original recipe suggests Manhattan key lime juice if you are using bottled. I've tried the Williams-Sonoma juice and it's not as tart as fresh key limes. People who don't usually like citrus desserts love this one!..."
