I made this meringue following the recipe exactly and after 20 minutes of beating, it sill wouldn't form stiff peaks. I called my sister-in-law. She told me the eggs have to be room temp. and instead of 1/4 t. salt, use 1/4 cream of tarter. My Second and third pies turned out fantastic. The pie was wonderful and the meringue was tall firm peaks after 5 mins. of beating.

Seriously Good! This was the best! I had never made a meringue pie where you added the meringue to the filling. I would like a bit more meringue on top- next time I may add an extra egg white or two- just to have more on top. Definitely a keeper!

Good taste, but my filling didn't set up. I think I followed the directions correctly. I must not have the knack for making lemon pie. It's not the first time this has happened.

This had a really good flavor to it and was no different to make than a coconut or chocolate pie. I have never used salt in my meringue so I omitted that, and didn't have any lemon zest on hand, otherwise made exactly as indicated. Really pleased with the flavor.

As this was my first attempt and this is my fiance's favorite dessert, I did do a bit of research. For preference, I used only one cup of sugar and 3/4 of a cup of lemon juice and extra lemon zest. I found that it was very important to let the filling cool to room tempurature prior to topping with meringue and then cool again before putting it in the refirdgerator. This was excellent, deliciously tart and my fiance says that he has never had better.

Very good and very easy!! I made it for my mother (with her guidance!) who has been a pie baker for over 60 years and she highly approved! Her suggestion for the meringue was to make sure the edges were 'sealed' with the crust before baking. I also increased the amount of lemon juice without problems since the cornstarch mixture was very thick

Liked the end part of the recipe about how to cook the meringue. TO BE HONEST I LOVE WHEN MY MERINGUE WEEPS. I THINK IT LOOKS VERY PRETTY. I HAVE LIKED IT THAT WAY SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL MANY YEARS AGO. I AM ALWAYS A BIT SAD WHEN MY MERINGUE DOES NOT WEEP :) JUST A THOUGHT

This is a great tasting pie. I only made a few adjustments. Instead on 11/2 cup of sugar I used 1 cup, I doubled the lemon juice,lemon zest and substituted cream of tartar in the meringue. Fantastic pie!

The lemon flavor was excellent. The only issue I have is I find the pie is weeping or so I'm told that is the term. Does anyone have a cure for this or does yours do this? Other than that, I will make this pie over and over.

I made this pie as the dessert item for my sister's 23rd birthday. I followed the recipe exactly, but all that I got out of it was a crumbling pile in a pan, and extremely hungry guests.

My dad loves this kind of pie and I was very nervous making the meringue, but it turned out alright. It wasn't as fluffy as others I have seen, but it browned very nicely. I will definately use this one again.
