I have a recipe for Key Lime Pie (recipe follows) that
calls for Angostura bitters.  It sounds like alcohol,
but I've never heard of it.  Does anyone know what it
is?

Now I must decide whether to make this pie or try the
banana cream pudding pie mentioned earlier this week
for my birthday!!!!  Would a homemade graham cracker
crust be appropriate for either of these, or just a
regular flour based pie crust?

Key Lime Pie

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
4 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
2 tablespoons Angostura bitters
grated peel of one lime
1 - 9" pie shell - baked

Place gelatin in the cold water and let dissolve. In
separate bowl beat together egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar,
lime juice and salt. Cook in double boiler until
mixture coats a spoon. Remove from heat. Add gelatin
mixture. Add bitters and lime peel. Mix until thick.
Beat egg whites and 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks
form. Fold into egg mixture. Pour into baked pie
crust. Chill.

Topping
start with 2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp corn starch
1/2 cup water

Cook on direct heat until thick and clear. Set aside
to cool.

3 egg whites
3 tbls sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Beat on high until smooth. Then add the mixture from
above. Beat on high until fluffy.
