LUSCIOUS LEMON MERINGUE PIE
Perk up a pie filler with an addition of fresh lemon juice and lemon rind. Make a full, impressive pie. Note: I use commercial pie filling which you can purchase at Wholesale clubs. You may need to add sugar if your mix calls for it. This makes a nice "high" pie.

Steps:
- Note, I use a commercial mix. If you cannot find it, you can follow the directions on your pudding and pie mix package, but add the lemon juice and rind to the mix when it is cooked.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Zest the lemon and set 2 tablespoons of the zest aside.
- Squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice out of the lemon and set aside.
- Place egg whites into mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a large glass bowl, stir together the egg yolks and cold water.
- Mix in the lemon pudding and pie filling powder.
- Stir in the hot water and lemon juice.
- Microwave on high for 4 min's. Add the lemon zest.
- Stir and continue cooking at 2 minute intervals until thick.
- In the meantime, as this is cooking, beat eggs whites until frothy.
- Add the cream of tartar, beat until foamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beat until stiff peaks form.
- Stir the butter into the hot filling, let rest for 2 minutes.
- Pour into baked shell.
- Spoon the meringue over the filling, ensuring the meringue seals the edges of the pie crust.
- Make swirls and peaks on the meringue.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minute until peaks are browned.
- Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then chill.
- When cutting, slice through the meringue with a knife wet with hot water.
LUSCIOUS LEMON LAYER PIE
Steps:
- Pie Crust: Whisk flour with a fork while still in the bag or cannister. Gently spoon out flour into measuring cups. (This reduces flour by as much as 1/8 to 1/4 cup).
- Then sift flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add shortening and cut into pea sized bits with pastry blender. Add cold water gradually until just dampened. Place on waxed paper and gather into ball from the outside corners. Press dough into a 6-inch pancake shape. Wrap with plastic wrap.
- Chill at least 30 minutes and then roll out between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Remove 1 side of plastic wrap, lightly flour, if necessary, and place into a 9-inch clear glass deep dish pan.
- Remove plastic wrap and flute edges. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Use extra pastry for cut-outs in the shapes of lemons, stars, etc. for decoration.
- Bottom Layer: In saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix with wire whisk; blend in lemon juice and cold water; then add egg yolks and blend until smooth. Add butter and gradually stir in boiling water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil 2 minutes; remove from heat and add lemon extract, zest/peel, and food coloring. Partially cool for 30 minutes, and pour into the baked pie shell. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before adding second layer.
- Second Layer: In a small bowl, cream sugar and cream cheese with spatula until smooth. Add milk and stir until well blended. Add pudding and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes until thickened. Pour on bottom layer. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Top Layer: Cream together the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the whipped dessert topping and spread on top of cooled lemon pudding. Garnish with extra pastry cutouts, citrus or mint leaves. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

LUSCIOUS LEMON MERINGUE PIE
An easy tasty pie. I got the recipe from a friend, I found it a bit too sweet for me, but maybe you could play about and lower the sugar if you wanted to. Please top the pie with the meringue while the filling is still warm and cook straight away, it seems to give the best results. I made my own rich shortcrust pastry with some lemon rind through it and it was lovely, but a pre-made one is just as good.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F, 175°C.
- Filling: using a medium saucepan, whisk together cup of sugar, flour, cornflour and salt. Stir in zest and juice of lemon and the water. Cook over medium heat till just boiling. Stir in the butter. Beat yolks together well in a bowl big enough to add a cup of the hot mixture to. Add a cup of the sugar mix, whisking all the time then add this back to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring all the time till thick. Remove from heat and pour into pie case.
- Meringue: Using a large clean bowl ( wipe out with remains of lemon and dry with paper towel to make sure there is absolutely no grease/residue in the bowl), whisk the whites till foamy, can be done by hand but I find the electric mixer does the best meringue for this. Add sugar gradually, whisking till you have the stiff peak stage (or you can try holding the bowl upside down above your head to make sure!)Also check at this point that all the sugar has dissolved by rubbing a small amount of mix between your fingers. continue whisking for a few minutes if it still feels grainy. If its smooth, drop the mixture all over the warm pie filling making sure to go right up to the edges smoothing out the gaps as you go. I like to make sure there are peaks all over the meringue as I love the chewy bits too.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or till meringue is golden brown.
- To enjoy at its best, let it cool down for a wee while before chilling for a few hours then serving with cream/ice cream. You will need to include the chilling time as I wasn't sure how to include that at the top.
