Notes: I had never tried lemon meringue until your father broke his leg. Mrs. Elaine Wise from church brought him a pie. After trying hers I began my search for the perfect recipe. Sunkist offered a free pamphlet of lemon recipes with a little lemon juicer and grater. The first time I made this recipe, I knew I had a winner.
