Key Lime Sauce

My husband LOVES Key Lime Pie. After a recent trip to Florida, he got a hankering for some, so luckily I found Kelly's Rich and Creamy Key Lime Pie Kelly's Rich & Creamy Key Lime Pie which is just delicious and easy to make. But DH wanted me to drizzle a key lime sauce over the pie. So here is a recipe I found that, if desired, goes great with Peacefulnightdove's recipe. This would also be good drizzled over bread pudding, among other things.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon cornstarch
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar, plus
• 1  tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1⁄2 cup key lime juice
• 1⁄4 cup water, plus
• 3  tablespoons water

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the 3 tablespoons of water.
2. In a small non-aluminum saucepan stir together the sugar, the lime juice and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil over moderate heat to dissolve the sugar.
3. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and boil, stirring, for about 30 seconds or until the lime sauce thickens.
