I just baked my first lemon meringue pie!
-
Oh, I've baked lots of pies in the past, but always fruit pies, because that's what you do with fruit. Right?
-
But not a lemon meringue pie. So why now? Well, because I had lemons, of course.
-
I bought a bag of lemons at Christmas time, at Costco, because it was cheaper than buying just the few I needed from Safeway. And I still had some hanging around. Besides, today is a gray, drippy Saturday here in Seattle.
-
I also used pre-prepared pie crust, another thing I've never done before. I've always made my own pie crust, but I just didn't feel like working that hard today, and the Safeway store is only four blocks away.

There's only one problem. The pie doesn't use enough lemons. I still have some left!
beautiful pie, I'm craving some of it...too bad you live so far away...but I've never made it from scratch but with jello pudding-they even have sugar free now.
ReplyDeleteMake a pie for the rest of us with your left over lemons.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! I've never made one from scratch either. I'm glad Lin reminded me that the pudding comes in sugar free now. I may have to make one.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteYummy Yum!! My second daughter's favorite. I used to make it years ago---all the time because I love it too. I was always (well mostly) good at making meringue. and I loved that too. Now this I see your yummy pie I may have to make one also. MB
ReplyDeleteI think the blogger that said you can now bake one for the rest of us had the right idea!
ReplyDeleteReally delicious looking pie!
Yum!
I've never made an lemon meringue pie but I sure would love to have a slice of your delicious pie! Could you slice the lemons up and freeze them for ice tea or lemonade when it gets nice and warm?
ReplyDeleteWow..that looks just perfect and I can almost taste it.. Yumm... Michelle
ReplyDeleteMy favorite-lemon anything!! pie, of course!
