Hello, I made this pie today, and it came out wonderfull! I followed the recipe but used the Meringue II recipe from this site as others did with great results. I used two real lemons and their zest.. Perfect in every way... Yummy

This was a fabulous recipe! I think that the stovetop filling mix makes it very good - and just like Grandma used to make!

Wow! Out of five pies tonight for Thanksgiving, this was the only pie that was gone by the end of the night. Easy to make and delicious. I did make a few changes such as adding 1/2 tsp. cream of tarter and 1/2 tsp. vanilla to the meringue and also substituted lemon extract and a little lemon juice (from a bottle) for the fresh squeezed lemon juice and I did not put in the lemon zest. I will be making this pie again and again. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this again with oranges (cause I ran out of lemons, so I went with the other citrus fruit I had, since limes are too small to zest, LOL). Next time I will prob remove the zest, biting into zest in every bite was nasty

Great recipe. Just remember to let it set for a while before cutting. I did add one more lemon for the juice, not the zest. It was nice but would have worked out just fine with only 2 lemons.

Easy and delicious! I am not a professional baker and yet this was not only easy to make, but its tasty as well. I read some of the reviews and used milk instead of water and added a 1/2 tablespoon more of cornstarch.

A++++. PERFECTION. For those that are experiencing "weeping" of the meringue make sure you are spreading your meringue over PIPING HOT filling. This ensures that the lower portion is getting "cooked" while browning in the oven. I, like others used the Meringue II recipe for the meringue part. KEEPER!

I LOVE this pie. I don't really like lemon flavored things so I switched it up with oranges. Instead of juicing and zesting two lemons I used 2 medium sized oranges. I also used 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar in the meringue. All in all this meringue pie came out nearly perfect.

My husband and I have been hungry for a good Lemon Meringue Pie for some time but I kept putting off baking it because of failed attempts in the past. When I saw this recipe it sounded like the way my Mother and my Grandmother made theirs. With Autumn and Winter around the corner and heartier pies being thought of I decided today is the day to try this recipe and I am so glad I did. My lemons were small and I needed 5 of them to get the juice for 1/2 cup but other than that the recipe was easy to follow and put togeather. I did follow suggestions from reviews such as making the meringue first so that it would be ready to put on the curd as soon as it was in the pie shell. The pie was delicious. The curt had just the right tartness for a citrus pie. I did add 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter to the egg whites along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla. This might have been a mistake. The egg whites were very stiff, but after being in the oven 20 minutes I removed it as it was a beautiful brown. I followed other suggestions and left it out for 1 hour and then put the pie in the refrigerator where it stayed for five hours and we could not wait the suggested six hours. The meringue did not pull away from the shell but did sink somewhat and was weepy. It certainly did not ruin the taste of the pie but I am wondering why this happened. Thank You for sharing your Grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe. I will keep this recipe and it will be used without fear of failure many times.

This is a GREAT recipe. We grow our own lemons and it only takes the juice of half a lemon to get a cup of lemon juice. So that was all I used and turned out PERFECT! I also cheated and used a graham cracker crust which was also great tasting. Thanks so much!

I followed some of the other readers suggestions and increased the serving size to 12 so I would get proportionately more filling for my deep dish tray. However, I did think that increasing the meringue was a little much for my taste. My pie did weep a little. I learned from another website that the filling has to be really hot (mine was) and that you have to make sure the meringue is totally cooked. the weeping is from egg white seepage. Wonderful recipe - will make again and again. I felt like a rock star!!!
