Sorry, didn't work for me. Lost my original lemon meringue pie recipe and used this one instead. The meringue shrunk and pulled away from the edges of the pie, and the filling did not set; it oozed all over the place as soon as the first slice was cut. It tasted pretty good, but we had to eat it with spoons.
