Lemon Meringue Pie was one of my grandma’s tried and true recipes. The story goes that my grandma made my grandpa Frank a fresh lemon meringue pie daily because he won’t eat left-over pie. Now I find that hard to believe, unless of course he ate a whole pie every day?!? Hmm maybe? One thing is certain, grandma’s lemon meringue pie is sensational. I still get requests from my brother-in-law Mike to make this pie!
