Directions
Lime Meringue Pie,I’m a lime freak. This is a nice change from the lemon version.,I heeded previous reviews of too much sugar. I omitted 1/2 c each from filling and meringue. Generous meringue does fine omitting 1/2 c, however, it’s a mistake to do so with filling–it needs either full sugar or more lime juice/zest. I should have used more lime juice! The filling could use way more bite. ( Used my own pie crust recipe, but will try this one next time–actually a bit lower cal than mine),Hi I made this today and I think you missed a step, once you get the filling in the pie shell, you don’t have anything about having it set before you put the meringue on. The recipe continues right on to the meringue , which I did, then I let it cool and put in the refrigerator. When I cut into it a few hours later, the meringue was fine, but the filling was all watery and broken. My filling was nice and thick when I put in the pie shell…so maybe you should add the step about how long to let the filling set before you put the meringue on and put it back in the oven. Thanks
