Cook's Tips: 

Grate the lime peel before squeezing the juice.

Make the filling in a heavy saucepan that's not uncoated aluminum. Whisking an acid
mixture in an aluminum pan can result in a metallic flavor.

 1 cup granulated sugar
 1/4 cup cornstarch
 1 1/4 cups milk
 Yolks from 3 large eggs
 2/3 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 large limes)
 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter or margarine (not 
spread), cut in small pieces
 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime peel
 1 cup sour cream
 One 6-ounce ready-to-fill graham-cracker piecrust (save 
the plastic lid)
 Garnish: sweetened whipped cream and lime slices 

1. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a medium-size saucepan. Whisk in milk until smooth,
then yolks until blended. Stir in lime juice.

2. Add butter and whisk constantly over medium heat 7 to 9 minutes, just until boiling.
Remove from heat and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in lime peel until blended. Cover
surface with plastic wrap to keep a skin from forming and refrigerate until cool, about 1
hour.

3. Gently whisk in sour cream until well blended. Pour into pie shell. Cover with
reserved plastic lid and refrigerate at least 6 hours until set, or up to 2 days.

4. Shortly before serving, garnish with whipped cream and lime slices.
