Lime Fluff Pie Recipe

2 1/2 cups applesauce 1 package (3 oz.) lime jello 1 cup sugar 2 tbsp. lime juice (optional) 1/8 tsp. grated lime rind 1 can evaporated milk, chilled (about 13 oz) 2 pie crusts, either regular crusts already baked, or graham crusts

Heat the applesauce in a saucepan, then stir in the gelatin and make sure it is well dissolved. Add the sugar, lime juice, and rind, and mix well. Meanwhile, whip the chilled milk until it is fluffy and thick. Fold in the applesauce mixture - but don't beat, just get it mixed well. The color will be an unusual green! Spoon into the crusts and chill. This makes two pies. They freeze well.

This is a strange recipe, but it always gets compliments when I serve it.
