This recipe is a variation of a key lime pie flavored with tequila. Use a good quality tequila for best results. Just like when you cook with wine you never want to cook with a quality wine or tequila that you would not want to drink

Ingredients

A baked 9" single crust pie shell or a graham cracker crust
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup gold tequila
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs, separated


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º.

Mix the milk, lime juice, tequila, salt, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the egg yolks until very well combined.

The reaction of the milk with the lime juice will make for a thick filling.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Make meringue by beating the egg whites with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks are formed.

Top pie with meringue and bake pie for 15 minutes or until lightly browned on top

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
