"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Directions:
Combine cornstarch and sugar. Put water in a glass bowl. Microwave until hot add sugar mixture microwave 2 minutes, stir , 2 minutes, stir, etc. until it is thickened. Add a small amount to beaten yolks to temper the yolks so they don't cook solid stirring constantly. Then pour yolk mixture back into sugar mixture. Heat until bubbly, mix in peel, lemon juice, and butter. Pour over pie crust (I use graham crusts sometimes)

Beat egg whites until foamy. 1 tsp. at a time add sugar until all is used beating constantly until mixture stands in peaks. Mound on top of hot filling in pie crust being sure the whites touch the crust edge, so meringue doesn't shrink. Bake at 350º 15 - 20 minutes. Watch carefully for meringue to brown.
