1270.0. "mail order: key lime juice" by CIRCUS::KOLLING (Karen, Sweetie, & Holly; in Calif.) Sun Jul 17 1988 16:31

    I can't find the note on key lime juice, but I ran across a mailorder
    source I had written down.  Here it is:  Nellie & Joe's Key West
    lime Juice, P.O. Box 2368, key West, fla. 33045.  phone is
    305-296-5566.  I don't know anything about the company.

1270.1Use Rose'sGLASS::HAIGHTTue Jul 19 1988 14:187
    Uses Rose's Lime Juice...I seem to find that just because the limes
    are grown in the Key's doesn't mean they taste any different than
    limes NOT grown in the Keys.    
    
    And if you're making Key Lime Pie, uses Rose's for that too, and
    the pie will be thicker, smoother, and will have more of a bite.
    (That's the way they make it at The Bubble Room on Sannibel Island!)

AND a WHOLE LOT sweeter unless you cut the sugar in the basic recipe...
Roses' Lime is a lim syrup that is used in making coctails.  My key
lim pie recipe starts with sweetened condensed milk so the additional
sugar of the Roses' Lime would be too much.  The idea of using Roses'
sounds good, though, as it does have a nice flavor....a recipe with
sugar added could be modified to use it and taste just wonderful...
HMMMMMMMM....off to the kitchen for a scan of the old cookbooks for
a different recipe to play with!!!

1270.3No substitute for Key limesCIMNET::LUISIThu Jul 21 1988 12:2215
    A Friend of mine was in the Keys; where the recipe for Key Lime
    Pie orginated and brought me back a cookbook with regional recipes
    from the Keys.  The very first one was for key lime juice.
    
    She was nice enough to bring a bottle back as well. 
    
    And there is a major difference.  Roses is not a substitute unless
    you modify the recipe.  I would love to find the juice in New England
    but it looks like mail order is the only way.  There were several
    other recipes that called for lime juice included several summer
    salads.  Nothing compares to key lime juice.
    
    I sort of put it in the same category of there is no substitute
    for hearts of palm.  BTW  A hearts of palm salad with key lime.
    Mmmmmmm!
1270.4Check Alexander's in NashuaVAX4::DALEYPaula DaleyTue Jul 26 1988 17:089
    If you are anywhere near Nashua, I happened to notice Key Lime Juice
    at Alexander's at the Nashua Mall (not sure, but maybe other
    Alexander's locations have it too.  It was in the "bar mixers" section
    (like where you might find Rose's lime juice, etc).  I didn't read
    the label, so I am not sure if there are additives like sugar, etc.
    
    It would be the first thing I would try if making key lime pie.

1270.6WestboroSUCCES::MULDOONHumpty Dumpty was pushed!!!!!Mon Aug 08 1988 16:189
    
      Try Julio's Liquors in Westboro. The Key Lime Juice is in the
    gourmet food section, at the very beginning of the first aisle
    on the right. Top shelf I believe. (It took me awhile to find it)
    
      Enjoy.
