Do you ever check out the recipes on packages? I was looking at our can of Key Lime Pie filling and found this great recipe for Key Lime Bars.
I just knew I had to make them right then and there since I had everything I needed in the house!
I try and keep a well stocked pantry filled with my favorite canned goods. We travel a ton so it is great coming home and having everything I need to make dinner or a treat in the pantry. As a Cans Get You Cooking Canbassador I am excited to share these great tips and recipes made with canned products.
Did you know
~According to a University of California, Davis study, many canned fruits and vegetables have equal, or more nutrients than their fresh or frozen counterparts.
~According to recent studies, most Americans throw away spoiled fruits and vegetables two times a week on average, wasting approximately 15 percent to 20 percent of fresh fruits and vegetables each year.
~Metal cans are endlessly recyclable and in fact, are the most recycled containers in America today, keeping metal out of landfills and saving significant energy. Nearly 80%-90% of all steel that has ever been produced is still in use today
These Key Lime Bars are ah-mazing! So easy to make and so tasty!

I want to make little tarts instead of bars and was wondering it they can be frozen for a later use? I have six cans that I want to use before their expiration date. Thank you.

Key Lime is such a favorite of mine. I will definitely have to try these. I did smile because nothing goes to waste here and that makes me feel so good. If I can't dehydrate it meaning fresh fruits and veggies I can freeze it or create something else wonderful 🙂 Love the can recycle information tho its so important for people to know that 🙂
