Total Time: 9 hrs 30 mins
Preparation Time: 9 hrs
Cook Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
- 1 lemon, meyer preferred
- 2 oranges, clementine preferred
- 10 key limes
- 1 1/2 cups turbinado sugar or 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste, sweetened (or 2 t for a stronger flavor)
- 4 eggs
- 1 double crust pie crust
Recipe
- 1 slice all the fruit as thin as possible, removing any seeds.
- 2 add the ginger paste (i use 2t gourmet garden ginger spice blend).
- 3 add the sugar.
- 4 allow to sit and blend for several hours, preferably overnight, stirring occasionally.
- 5 preheat the oven to 400.
- 6 beat the eggs well, until light and frothy.
- 7 blend the eggs into the sugar-fruit mixture.
- 8 prepare the crust and place the bottom in the pie pan.
- 9 pour the filling mixture into the pan. it will be soupy.
- 10 make slits in the top pie crust and seal together with the bottom.
- 11 lightly brush with water and sprinkle with sugar.
- 12 cover the edges with a pie crust shield or aluminum foil.
- 13 bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust has a nice golden color.
- 14 remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing. i think this pie tastes better the longer it sits: it's a great 2nd-day pie.
- 15 preparation time includes minimum time for the fruit-sugar blend to macerate.
- 16 to make your own sweet ginger paste:.
- 17 grate 1-2 t ginger
- 18 add 1/2 t sugar or honey.
- 19 mash and blend together. add a few drops of citrus juice to assist in creating a paste.
