It looks delicious and sounds relatively simple. I'm a new baker and am not yet ready for intimidating recipes! :-) We have a lemon tree with a ton of lemons, and I thought I would try baking a lemon meringue pie for Thanksgiving. It turned out more like pudding, but the meringue was good! I'm sure I'll have more success with your recipe. I will definitely try this recipe! It looks delicious and sounds relatively simple.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy your version was. It turned out just like the picture! And my boyfriend has claimed the leftovers as his for breakfast. :) I also couldn’t get Alton Brown’s recipe to set. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy your version was.

This is for a school project that I have to do Thank You <em>The sugar and lemon juice are added before the mixture is thickened. They are added to the cold pan along with the cornstarch, then heated to thicken. I don't know all of the science but it has to do with how cornstarch thickens liquids. Good Luck! -katie</em> Do you know why sugar and lemon juice are added after the mixture for the filling has thickened and not before?

After 4 attempts at Alton's recipe, all of which had the same problem of runny custard and weeping meringue, I tried yours and it set perfectly the first time (with 3 hours of fridge chilling), and even 24 hours later there is still no weeping. Kudos for figuring it out, I'll be keeping your recipe from now on. Thank you.
