Ingredients:
3 eggs, seperated
14 ounces eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice
9 inches unbaked pie shells
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. In bowl beat egg yolks on low speed; gradually beat in sweetened milk and lime juice till smooth. You can also add food coloring now if desired.
3. Pour into pie crust. Bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and increase temperature to 350 degrees.
4. In bowl beat egg whites and tartar on high speed till soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar on med. speed 1 tbs. at a time. Beat 4 minutes longer or till sugar is dissolved and stiff glossy peaks form.
5. Spread meringue over pie carefully sealing to edge of crust to prevent shrinking.
