The filling of the pie is amazing! The meringue crust was not our favorite, but was a nice alternantive. I thought the crust was just too sweet, so maybe I can make it with less sugar. The lemon raspberry filling is completely worth the extra effort! Also, make sure to use a 10 inch pie plate or you won't need to use the entire recipe :) Made for PAC spring '11. -
This is an easy and delicious pie that is light as a cloud, the only change I used frozen well drained strawberries in place of fresh raspberries, next time I make it I will use fresh fruit, thanks for sharing BK!...Kitten:)
