Summer is only a gleam in the mind right now, but I’m sustaining on that gleam, and planning accordingly. If there’s one thing that this pandemic has taken and wrecked, it’s the idea of planning – which was one of my favorite pastimes – and I’m slowly trying to bring that back in small ways. The making of this recipe will be one such practice endeavor. Suzie made a batch and the recipe turned out to be surprising simple. Anything with vanilla wafers seems to be a good thing.
The recipe says there is the possibility of using bottled Key lime juice – and honestly I hope that’s the case because the Key limes I’ve seen are tiny. It looks impossibly difficult to extract 3/4 cup juice from them, and I don’t have that kind of patience. Suzie actually used a combination of the more common Persian limes and a lemon, and it tasted wonderful, but I’d like to try the authentic Key limes for my first attempt. And for summer.
