When you're in the mood for lemon meringue pie, try this Sunkist classic... it's the real thing!
Makes 6 servings Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup cold water 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice 3 egg yolks, well beaten 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1-1/2 cups boiling water Grated peel of 1/2 Sunkist lemon 2 to 3 drops yellow food coloring (optional) 1 (9-inch) baked pie crust Three-Egg Meringue (below)
Procedure:
In a saucepan, thoroughly combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually blend in the cold water and lemon juice. Stir in the egg yolks. Add the butter and boiling water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon peel and food coloring.
Pour into baked pie crust. Top with Three-Egg Meringue, sealing well at edges. Bake at 350 F for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool for 2 hours before serving.
