Now you've hit a soft spot....I'm a lemon addict and Meringue Pie is a favorite.  Right now I do my Lemon Pies the lazy man way.  I buy those little TableTalk pies for 98 cents...with Lemon and Blueberry being my favorites.   May have to try this one out.

Oh my goodness I remember Mother making these, I have never tried though,


I wonder how this would be as a dessert to go with the ribs I intend to make this weekend?

Well, actually made the pie this weekend, yesterday to be precise for some reason could get the topping to play nice and form the peaks and such, so must have done something wrong there, however did use what I got from it on top and then did the taste test ... very little left this morning ... very little indeed.

Usually in my house a slice is not enough and by morning all is gone
