Meringue Mushrooms

Submitted by: Holly Wilkins 
These take a bit of work and time, but are spectacular. They are highly prized for Christmas gift-giving! As with other meringue recipes, these should only be made on a dry day. You will need a pastry bag with a plain tip. If you can save some green plastic berry baskets from the summertime, these mushrooms look totally realistic placed in them.

I hear so many nice comments when I serve this special springtime dessert. I make it often when our abundant rhubarb is in its prime. It's just as homey as a rhubarb custard pie, but it easily serves a large group. --Jessica Moch Bismarck, North Dakota

High Altitude Meringue for Pie

Submitted by: PAT79 
Many years ago when I moved to a high altitude area, I found that my meringues on my pies were flat and weepy, unlike those I had made at a lower altitude. I found this recipe, and I was back to making Lemon Meringue Pies again. It adds volume and is much more stable. Works great at any altitude.

This was my grandmother's favorite recipe, made only for special occasions. I can remember watching her cook. She never measured anything and her food was always great, but I think she had to be a little more exact with this cake. -Carol Forbes, Norwalk, Connecticut

With nine children to feed on a limited budget, she came up with many variations of the same dish. This dessert was a special treat. -Mary McMenamin, Spring City, Pennsylvania

A nice change from lemon meringue, the flavor comes from a generous amount of orange juice and orange zest as well as some segments of fresh orange.

Fresh lemon juice and lemon rind make this pie's filling tart and lovely. And when it's poured into a waiting crust, topped with billows of meringue, and baked, it's downright dreamy.

First you make real lemon custard studded with bits of lemon zest. Then you whip up the meringue. Half the meringue gets folded into the filling, and the other half gets spooned on top of the pie.
