I am pretty sure this would have been even better if I had made it right. I put the juice of 3 lemons in and it was WAY too lemony. It was also too runny and didn't really solidify. It might have been from the extra lemon juice, or I didn't cook it long enough. I only cooked the filling for about 5 minutes after adding the eggs, so it must need longer. I don't do well with directions like "until thick" :)

This was my first ever attempt at Lemon Meringue Pie, and I was very pleased with the results. It was easy to make and very tasty. I also added 2 teaspoons of lemon zest to give it some extra tang. Mine did seperate a tiny bit, but I blame my inexperience for this as I was not sure just how think to make the filling, and I don't think I cooked it long enough. But it was still wonderful. Thanks!
