This. Recipe. ROCKS! The instructions were clear and easy to follow (even for someone who's never made a meringue anything before) and the pie couldn't've turned out better. I'm delighted and pleased and proud. Only suggestion would be to mention the cool-time: took ours about 2 hours to cool enough that we could cut into it and still eat it warm. Thanks for the excellent recipe!!!
