make pie! Jen, from The Canadian Baker, was our hostess this month and she challenged us with making a Lemon Meringue Pie. This was my first time making a Lemon Meringue Pie and I even got L. to help out - we actually had a lot of fun doing it together! We made it for a dinner party we had a couple weekends back and our guests loved it. We loved it so much we made, it again, the next day and then again the following weekend!
We did use our lemon of choice which is the beautiful Meyer. As well I do not own a pie pan so we used a tart pan. The pastry dough was light and flaky and the filling was a beautiful shade of yellow and had just enough pucker! Meringue well you just can not go wrong with any sort of meringue. The first two pies came from the same recipe and unfortunately, once you cut into the pie it was more like floating islands on lemon soup - great flavor though. The second time around, we cut the water down but it was still rather runny. The flavor was so fantastic that it really did not matter to us nor our guests!

Drool-fest INDEED!! Beautiful job!
Your meringue turned out so pretty! I also had soupy filling, but it still tasted pretty good.
I've never used meyer lemons. I'm not sure I've even seen them. You're lucky to have California's bounty at your disposal!
Very nice pies. Have to commend you on making it again. I was so tired out after my first and only LMP effort!
Your lemon meringue pie turned out so beautifully. I love all the little swirls of meringue...yum.

Ya, my lemon curd was a bit runny too, but tasted fabulous :)
Congratulations on your first attempt!
We loved this pie too and DH has already asked me when I'm making it again. (We served it for company 2 weeks ago.)
Great photos.
