MY MOM'S LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
- Mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl; pour into pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Five minutes before pie is done, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar to egg white mixture and continue beating until meringue forms stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and increase temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread meringue onto warm pie, making sure meringue goes all the way to the edges creating a seal. Using the back of a spoon, dab the meringue and pull up, creating peaks across the pie.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for 1 hour and store in the refrigerator.

I don't know when or how Mom got this recipe but it was the one she used since the 1950's. She made it from scratch for holidays and it was always just wonderful.

- 2. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and very gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture. Go slowly so yolks do not cook. Then slowly whisk egg yolk mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat. Add butter and cool a bit. Pour into pie shell.
- 3. TO MAKE MERINGUE: With mixer beat egg whites until frothy; gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla.

MOM'S LEMON CUSTARD PIE
My mother often made this lemon pie back when we were growing up. You might say it's stood the test of time because today it's still my 75-year-old brother's favorite! The beaten egg whites give it a delicate texture and make this custard pie quite unique! It's a great way to finish off any meal. -Jeannie Fritson, Kearney, Nebraska

MOM'S LEMON MERINGUE PIE
This is my late mother-in-law's recipe. My husband now makes it for our family and friends. He even entered it in a local pie contest and won a blue ribbon! We love the tart, lemon flavor! If you can, make it the day before serving since the taste actually improves after a day. Note: This recipe uses eggs which have not been fully cooked. Please be sure of your egg source and keep the pie refrigerated.
