WW had them $4.98kg here in Bathurst today - I am sure last week they were about $29kg - some poor grower has probably been ripped off!

I was going to make it never have made it before anyone got a fantastic recipe and by the way is it like a cheesecake.

Would you recommend a lemon tart instead macwood

gerry64, key limes are a variety of lime, and are harvested when green but actually ripen to yellow. I'm really unsure if you could obtain them in Austraila, unless someone is growing that variety vs. the more common, varieties such as Tahitian. So your key lime pie would just become a lime pie, and if you've never had the other, then I really wouldn't go into splitting limes, so to speak! Enjoy your lime pie!

cheers mac - the limes were an impulse buy really as they were so cheap - last lemon meringue pie I made turned itself into meringue covered lemon soup!
