Meringue
Once filling is cool, make meringue: Preheat oven to 425 F. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add sugar, beating between additions. Carefully spread over the pie, being sure to touch meringue to edge of crust. Bake 4 to 5 minutes, until light brown. Serve pie chilled.
Lime Meringue Pie
A little more tart than lemon. Very good.
Substitue lime juice and lime rind for the lemon juice and lemon rind. Proceed as above.
You can really taste the lemon in this. Squeeze your own juice if you have time.
Combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon rind and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook three minutes, stirring. Remove from heat. Add a small amount of the hot mixture to the egg yolks and stir in. Add a little more, until the egg yolks are warm. Pour into saucepan and return to heat. Bring to a boil once more. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and margarine. Pour into pie shell and cool.
