Description
Always an impressive dessert to bring to the table
Notes This is the way that my Aunt Kate and my mother-in-law Dorothy Sherman made the world's most wonderful lemon meringue pies. My aunt would have one ready to be picked up at her house when I was on the way home from the railroad station for college vacations, and my father always stopped so that we could pick it up. The meringue made with 5 egg whites produces a marvelous, high pie.
