I found this recipe on the internet last year and it is THE ABSOLUTE BEST lemon meringe pie that I have EVER tasted! The recipe was Ann Landers Best Lemon Meringue Pie. I started to post it here myself, but you beat me to it!

I received the most wonderful compliments from serving this pie. It looked right out of a food magazine. I followed your directions exactly. I added the food coloring and I doubled the meringue. I've had orders for whole pies. Thank you.

Top Notch! This pie is perfection! The taste is right on, and I'm a TRUE Citruholic! Nice-n-tangy and just sweet enough. I did add more lemon juice, because I LOVE lemon. Also, I started out with a double-boiler (bowl over simmering water), but I couldn't get the mixture hot enough to thicken, it was just on the verge. I transferred it out of the bowl, turned down the burner and put it in the pan and within minutes it thickened up beautifully. I added extra lemon zest and 1/8 tsp. of lemon oil at the butter and vinegar stage, and taste tested. KA-POW! I topped it with meringue (6 egg whites! Mile high! I had extra egg whites I thawed from the freezer.) and browned it for exactly ten minutes at 350. Beautiful, golden brown. Another great recipe from KittenCal. Thanks. This recipe won't disappoint if you follow the instructions.

Hello Kittencal Thanks for a very nice meringue recipe. I make a great pie filling, but not so great meringue. This worked very well. didn't make it so sweet, but doubled as I was making 2 pies. It makes plenty!! Judy in WA

I have made this pie again, hoping it would turn out this time. The first time the meringue was a complete flop as was the second time. The flavor wasn't bad but I will not attempt this particular recipe again.
