Step 3. Add GRANULATED SUGAR SUBSTITUTE and beat until incorporated.
Step 4. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
Step 5. Add the lime juice BUT NOT zest of the limes. Beat until well mixed. BY HAND stir in the zest.
Step 6. Pour into the crust and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Step 7. Serve garnished with a few lightly sweetened Blueberries or strawberries or raspberries.
