Directions

1. Before you begin, take eggs out of the refrigerator and allow to remain at room temperature for a few minutes first. They will separate more easily this way.
2. Add the True Lemon and water mixture to a pot over very lowheat with the sugar, cornstarch, water, and yolks.
3. Bring heat up gradually, as to not scramble the egg yolks. Warm until mixture becomes thick, while stirring frequently with a whisk.
4. Pour into your pre-baked pie shell and set aside to let cool.
5. Add salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until it starts to get fluffy.
6. Gradually add the sugar. Continue beating until the sugar is all added, then finishby adding the vanilla.
7. Pour the meringue over the lemon pie, and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
