Hi Jill…
Totally love “One Good Thing.” Thanks for sharing all the many wonderful ideas and
recipes. Love your family. l-)
Thank you so much Phyllis! I’m so glad you like the site. :-) Love your family too!
Jillee,
I’m a lemon lover also but only for desserts. My mom used to make a lemon meringue pie but sadly I did not get the exact recipe from her before she passed.
She used lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. The only baking was the browning of the meringue.
Have you seen a recipe like that during your searches?
Love your blog!
Thanks!
Juli
Juli….this sounds an awful lot like a Paula Deen recipe I once saw on Food Network. I looked it up and sure enough…sounds very similar!
Here is the link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/lemon-meringue-pie-recipe/index.html
Let me know if you think this is like your Mom’s.
So glad you liked the website. :-) Thanks!
Magic Lemon Meringue Pie
1 (8-inch round) graham cracker crust
(YOU make, NOT purchased! Buy the crumbs, read the box)
2 eggs, separated (save whites for meringue)
1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
fresh lemons squeezed to make 1/2 cup, 6 lemons?
(or can use Realemon reconstituted lemon juice)
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 c. sugar
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. In medium bowl, beat egg yolks; stir in sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
2. Turn into pie shell.
3. In small bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy; gradually add sugar,
beating until stiff but not dry.
4. Spread meringue on top of pie sealing carefully to edge of shell.
5. Bake 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool completely then refrigerate.
Makes 6 servings. Refrigerate leftovers (hah! there won’t be any)
Hey Jillee,
I’m looking for a yummy diy instant capucino recipe. Can’t seem to find anything on Pintrest and the one’s that I do find when I google are full of sugar. So I was wondering if you have any sugar free recipes or recipes using sugar substitue like Splenda.
Love your blog!!!!
Cheryl
Jillee,
I love your blog and I need help… come next month I will have a ton of store bought Whole milk via WIC. And since my son is a breast-fed baby we probably won’t consume very much of it. I use your recipe for crock-pot yogurt already and will continue to, but do you have any other awesome tricks and ideas for me in order to use up all of this milk?!?
Thank you so much!
No matter if some one searches for his essential thing, therefore he/she desires to be
available that in detail, thus that thing is maintained over here.
Hi, after reading this remarkable post i am as well glad
to share my familiarity here with mates.
Hi there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it’s really informative. I am gonna watch out for brussels. I’ll appreciate if
you continue this in future. Lots of people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
