About

We start baking our classic key lime pie around Saint Patrick’s Day, which is a huge celebration day in Savannah. The pie has a pleasing almost green hue, and the fresh taste is a great reminder that winter is almost over and summer will be here in the blink of an eye. Serve a big dollop of whipped cream on every slice.
