key lime juice = Mexican lime juice   Notes:   Freshly squeezed lime juice is vastly superior to what you'll find in bottles.  Key limes and bottled key lime juice are widely available in the Southeast, and in specialty markets elsewhere.  Liquor stores sometimes carry Rose's lime juice, which is sweetened key lime juice.   Substitutes: regular (Persian) lime juice (This is less potent, so use more. Some cooks prefer freshly squeezed Persian limes over bottled key lime juice for key lime pies.) OR passion fruit juice (This has a different flavor, but works well in key lime pie recipes.) OR calamondin juice (Also works well in key lime pies) OR Rose's lime juice (this is sweetened key lime juice)

 

lemon juice   Shopping hints: Freshly squeezed lemon juice tastes much better than bottled juice. Equivalents: One lemon yields about 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Substitutes: lime juice (This is more acidic and has a different and more pronounced flavor. Substitute 3/4 cup ordinary (Persian) lime juice or 2/3 cup key lime juice for one cup lemon juice.) OR vinegar (Especially malt vinegar. Substitute ½ cup vinegar for every cup of lemon juice. Products made with vinegar tend to keep longer than those made with lemon juice.) OR crushed vitamin C tablets dissolved in water (This works well to prevent fruit from discoloring.)

 

lime juice = Persian lime juice   Equivalents:  One lime yields about 2 tablespoons lime juice.  Substitutes:   key lime juice (3/4 C (Persian) lime juice = 2/3 C key lime juice) OR lemon juice (3/4 C lime juice = 1 C lemon juice)
