This pie turned out great. I don't really like cloves so I used nutmeg instead. Topped with whipped cream instead of merangue. Cooks fast. Perfect texture. My daughters boyfriend had two pieces and asked if he could take some home. I will make this again.

I made this for Christmas along with an apple and a pumpkin pie.. this one was gone long before either of the others. Everybody loved it..I used chopped pecans, so yummy. I did not make mine with a merigue as I wasn't sure how it would hold up overnight...still delicious without.

I made this one yesterday morning for an evening Thanksgiving gathering. It was easy to put together and made a beautiful pie! It held its shape when cut and tasted just like everyone thought it should taste. My only problem...and maybe it's just me (new to meringue) was that by serving time the meringue was beginning to break down some and run a sticky goo over the edges of the pie and and down under the pan. I had kept the pie at room temperature from baking (a.m.) to serving (p.m.) but perhaps I should have refrigerated it? Maybe someone can share tips for keeping meringue nice over a period of time. Otherwise, a really nice recipe! Just like my grandma's too!
