Key Lime Fudge

When I buy key lime juice, the only bottle of it I can find is pretty large.
All you normally need is just a few tablespoons of it at a time.

Then it just kinda makes it's way to the back of the fridge until, eventually, someone sees it again and throws it away. Such a waste!

I decided I needed to use at least a smidge more of it before the "waste guilt" washed over me.
A quick google search came up with this recipe from About.com.

My lime loving daughter is not a key lime fan, and I am anti-citrus, so that took two eaters out of the equation.
Hubby had some, I brought some to two different aunts, pawned a big container of it off on hubby's volleyball team, and brought some to work.
Everyone really enjoyed it...score!
