Sautee onion in butter until tender. Strain the oysters over a bowl to remove any grit or shells but reserve the oyster juice. Add oysters, strained juice and all other ingredients. Cook over low heat until edges of oysters begin to curl and mixture is hot, but not boiling. Stir often. Serve stew with crackers, or even better a fresh hot grilled cheese sandwich.

Key Lime Pie
One 14 Ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 Cup Key lime juice 1 teaspoon grated lime zest 3 egg yolks One 8-inch prebaked pie crust or graham cracker crust 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream 2 Tablespoons fine Sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, lime juice, and zest; blend in the egg yolks. Pour filing into the crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set. While the pie is in the oven, beat the cold heavy whipping cream in a refrigerated bowl until the cream has nearly doubled and clings to the beaters when raised. While whipping the cream, gradually add the sugar, a little at a time. After the pie has cooled, drop a heaping tablespoon or two on each serving! |
