Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 I've made Suz's " key lime pie " and can vouch for its' deliciousness. In fact I've never bought fresh limes til now' but now I'm a convert. I too have been experimenting. I'll add these other recipes below to the " member's recipes " folder/file. If anyone else has been experimenting successfully, please tell the group. It'll benefit all of us. on 9/11/2002 1:34 AM, Suzanne Cart at massuz@... wrote: > Jeoffh2 and all, > > I haven't experimented with other gums, but have created some good > snacks/desserts using guar with different foods to " stretch " the volume of the > food.
