Lemon Meringue Pie

This is a refreshing pie on a hot day.

LEMON MERINGUE PIE

1 baked pie shell
1-2/3 cup sugar
6 Tbsp cornstarch
½ cup REALEMON Lemon Juice from Concentrate
4 eggs, separated
1½ cups boiling water
2 Tbsp Margarine
¼ tsp cream of tartar


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In heavy saucepan, combine 1-1/3 cups sugar and cornstarch; add REALEMON. Gradually add water, stirring constantly. Over medium heat, cook and stir until mixture boils and thickens, about 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add margarine; stir until melted. Pour into pie shell.

In small mixer bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tarter until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining 1/3 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Spread on top of pie, sealing carefully to edge of shell.

Bake 12 - 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Chill before serving.

Enjoy!!
