My perennials are popping up and I've been spending lots of time in my garden.

So, baking the Lemon Meringue, which was Mom's specialty and one of his favorites, helped the day pass with fond memories.

I remember leaving Mom's oven cracked when the broiler was on, but the newer ovens say to close it. That might be the difference in how quickly the meringue browned yesterday. Anyway you look at it, it was yummy and that's what Maddie kept saying..."mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263263554924074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-83805780292440568452011-02-25T06:36:37.777-08:002011-02-25T06:36:37.777-08:00My mouth is watering as I sit and stare at the pic...My mouth is watering as I sit and stare at the picture of this beautiful creation you called "Helen's Lemon Meringue Pie". Mom's pie was the best and you learned very well----I wish I could say the same about me!! I'm with Maddie----licking the spatula and beaters!! I always thought Mom baked the pie for 10-12 minutes after putting on the meringue to brown the peaks and that also helped set the filling. My meringue always weeps and flattens out---I obviously don't beat it well enough or more obviously, I don't know how to bake pies!!! Anyway, I really enjoyed the post and may try to bake Mom's pie once again. :) BarbBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191307900762036804noreply@blogger.com
