This was a very sweet, nearly lemon meringue pie that we both enjoyed. The vinegar taste mellowed into the mildest of tastes and provided the acidity of lemons. We found that the filling needed to be quite cold to be set and that the meringue topping could have used another egg white to provide a really nice cover for the top of the pie.

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
