Ann, this is Delicious! It has a bit more substance than regular meringue, and “I don’t like tears in my pies” either. I know it drives my mom crazy when she bakes them and gets tears, so I’ll have to share this one with her. I paired this up with Lennie’s Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie. Our DD’s eyes rather rolled back in her head with enjoyment as she tasted it, followed by mmmm, and I know she told me at least twice how good it was. DH has some in his lunch for tomorrow, a really nice Monday treat. We Will be making this one again! Thank-you. I’ll have to try this meringue on a chocolate-from-scratch meringue pie next…lol

The meringue was great! And it was my first time ever making meringue, though it is something I have always loved to eat. I think the cornstarch did give it a slightly heavier texture though, but still good!! I teamed it with Lennie's Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie #14979. It went very well together. Totally encouraged, I am off to look for a good lemon meringue pie.

This was wonderful. I made my pie the night before Thanksgiving and had no tears the next day or even a couple of days later. I didn't use the entire cornstarch mixture though because I was afraid I'd have an off consistency. Turned out great though. Thanks for solving the crying over pie problem!

This was my first meringue attempt...I don't think it turned out like it was supposed to. It never did "fluff up"....I think maybe I should have beat the egg whites before adding the sugar and salt? Tasted good though.

Great recipe. I cheated & boiled my water in the microwave for 4 minutes. Then cooled it in the refrigerator while I finished working on the pie itself. Once my crust was baked and cooled and filling in it, the water and cornstarch had cooled to the right temperature. So I just finished it up and didn't have to wait for anything. This browned very nicely and even today, looks great. Not only does it not weep, but it hasn't shrunk or cracked one day later either. Thanks Miss Annie for a recipe that I will use time and time again. Krsi Sue.

She is right. I have used this meringue for years and it not only does not weep it holds up well so unfinished pie/dessert is good the following day.Not quite as light as sugar & egg white only meringue but it makes up for that in its reliability. a good addition to the collection!

This was my first meringue and it was beautiful. I did get some water that came from under it, but I think it was from the pie (a custard style coconut cream). It was super easy I made it just as it says, and I got no shrinkage. I spinkled coconut over top and baked for the full 20 minutes. Beautiful!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I finally was able to make a meringue that didnt run all over the place! and there definately was no weeping!! But I like a LOT of meringue on my pies so next time I will try doubling or tripling the ingredients. Thank You!!!

Finally a full proof Meringue. It did not weep or shrink. It turns out a little thicker but much easier to work with and I like the texture. I will use it for all my pies, and I have already shared it with my friends and family. Thanks so much for posting it.
