Made this using a homemade eggnog & it turned out beautifully, even if it was one of the few pies I've ever made that included a meringue! Definitely a keeper of a recipe, since I want to make it at least several times when the next run of end-of-the-year holidays comes around! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
