I have to give this 5+ stars. This had to be the best lemon pie ever. I used homegrown lemons and a shortbread type crust. my dad ate half of the pie he liked it so much. i will make again when fresh lemons come into season.

This pie tasted really good, like a lemon pie should taste, but it turned out soupy, I must have not cooked it long enough, some day when I decide to try it again I will try cooking it longer, maybe that'll work.

I have been looking for a lemon pie recipe similar to the legendary one my husband's grandmother used to make; unfortunately, she had never written it down, and her secret is lost. This pie comes very close to hers. I used fresh lemon juice and added the zest as well (as Grandma had). I used 1/4 C. cornstarch, since many other recipes with equal liquid measurements called for it (I didn't want it to turn out rubbery). I decided to try another meringue recipe, since I already had a sore arm from the CONSTANT stirring involved in making the filling. This is very labor-intensive; I can see why making lemon pies has fallen out of vogue. The results are worth it, however; I made it for company, and they raved about how good it was.
