Directions:
Whip egg whites with cream of tartar and pinch of salt until frothy. Slowly beat in the 1 c. sugar, 1 T. at a time, beating until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Spread into a well-buttered and floured 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 300º for 40-45 mins. or until dry and crisp. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the 1/2 c. sugar, lemon rind and lemon juice until fluffy. Place over boiling water and beat while cooking until thick and creamy. Consistency should be about that of softly whipped cream. Chill. Fold whipped cream into lemon pudding mixture. Turn into meringue shell. Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with mint or stawberries or both.
