Key Lime And Candied Kumquat Peel Pie

It appears singular to the reader of St. Paul's Epistles that the apostle in one passage speaks of Christians as perfect, and in another as imperfect. At one time, he describes them in terms that would lead us to infer that they are holy as God is holy; and at another, he speaks of them as full of sin and corruption. In the text, he denominates them “the elect of God, holy and beloved,” and yet immediately proceeds to exhort them to the possession and practice of the most common Christian graces – such as humility and forgiveness. In a preceding paragraph, he tells the Colossians that they “are dead to sin, and their life is hid with Christ in God,” and then goes on to urge them to overcome some of the most gross sins in the whole catalogue – “mortify, therefore, your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry” (Col. 3:3-5).

INSTRUCTIONS

           CRUST:
Put the fruit in a heavy sauce pan and cover the fruit with cool
water. Now place the pan on high heat. Once it comes to a boil,  drain.
Put the fruit in a bowl of ice water and allow to cool. Now  remove the
fruit from the ice water and set it aside on a towel.  Place the fruit
on a cutting board and trim off both ends of the  fruit. In a small
saucepan mix together the sugar and orange juice.  Bring to a boil over
medium high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer.  Skim as necessary and
add the fruit. Simmer 50-60 minutes, stirring  occasionally to make
sure the fruit is not sticking to the bottom.  Take the fruit out and
separate on a plate lined with parchment  paper. Reserve and use as
desired.  Combine all of the above ingredients together in a bowl. Now
press  them firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie
pan.  Whip the egg yolks until thick and pale yellow (about 5 minutes).
Pour in the condensed milk and the kumquats. Slowly add in the key
lime juice. Pour into the pie crust and bake 10-12 minutes.  Cool for 1
hour and then chill completely. Serve as desired.  Yield: 1 -10-inch
