Lemon meringue tart (pics)
17 years ago
I made this for Scott's birthday yesterday. it turned out wonderful - we took it next door and we all had filets, grilled caesars, broccoli rice casserole, shrimp, ooooh it was all so good! I posted the recipe in the "no pie weights" thread. From Joy of Baking. But I think those little beads of moisture are not a good thing...ah well. nobody minded!
This was all that was left. 3 pieces. These pics are from today after the leftovers were in the fridge all night. many more beads of moisture.
The pastry turned out great - it was very pretty.
LOTS of meringue...

Comments (20)David I noticed that too, And they really grow fast and fill in very nicely. I did pick that underplanting up from Monika ;-) love looking at her pictures and reading her advices. I am not familiar with begonias or for that matter a LOT of plants. I guess I was just REAL lucky when I picked those vinca's. I wonder if begonias would tolerate this extreme heat? Ok I really need to go to bed now lol. But I was so happy that I had internet today. I am scared to turn off the PC fearing that it will not let me get back on tomorrow......HOLD it......oh my cosh....it IS tomorrow lol...See MoreMeyer lemon update (pics)
Comments (19)Tim, your temps won't slow down the growth of the Meyers. They'll just hold fruit longer. We actually get much more wind chill in winter than you do; over the last six years I've lost two Japanese maples "Bloodgood" in winter frosts less than 50' from my largest Meyer. Although I've posted these photos from 2011 before, the old links are broken so they won't show up in a search. Here they are again: The oldest, grown from seed that dropped, sprouted in this shady cold spot in 1996. If you consider this shot is a side-to-side view, what you can't see is that the front-to-back measurement is about 2-3' longer: Purchased grafted IM, planted from 5 gallon container in 2002. Optimal spot, lots of sun, set on a berm to avoid the worst ground chill: Our second purchased IM, planted from 5 gallon container in 2003. I goofed and didn't stake this properly. It leans too far out into the walkway, and so I had to prune off almost a third of it. This photo was taken soon after I did the pruning. It was very close to the same size at the one in the frontyard, but doesn't fruit quite as much as it's shadier back here: You won't have any trouble getting rid of excess Meyers. Very few people in SF proper grow them. When I would take them into the downtown office where I worked, they were gone in literally minutes. Now I'm retired, it's harder in the EBay. EVERYBODY has a citrus tree here, so lemons are abundant! My neighbor has the standard Eureka/Lisbon type - what a difference from grocery store lemons. Same tart taste, but seedless and juicy! If you want something pretty, I love the lacy branching of the Bearss Lime we have. Lovely tree, very graceful looking....See MoreMay 9th Houston Get Together/Lemon Meringue Pie
Comments (9)Thanks for posting the pix Karen! It was great, as always, getting together with old friends and new. Yes, Annie, we did nothing but eat and talk. And laugh of course. What could be better than that? The food was delicious and the company delightful. And a good time was had by all. I'm looking forward to the next get together in San Antonio when Sharon and Clive breeze through. What fun!!!...See MoreTried and True Lemon Meringue?
Comments (25)Here is Ann Landers' Lemon Meringue Pie recipe: Ann Landers' Best Ever Lemon Pie And Meringue CDKitchen http://www.cdkitchen.com Serves/Makes: 8 : Difficulty Level: 3 : Ready In: 1-2 hrs Ingredients: 1 baked 9-inch pie shell 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar 6 tablespoons cornstarch 2 cups water 1/3 cup lemon juice 3 egg yolks 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract 2 teaspoons vinegar 3 tablespoons butter ***Never-Fail Meringue*** 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons cold water 1/2 cup boiling water 3 egg whites 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 pinch of salt Directions: Mix sugar and cornstarch together in the top of a double boiler. Add the two cups of water. Combine egg yolks with lemon juice and beat until well mixed. Add to the rest of the sugar mixture. Cook over boiling water until thick -- about 25 minutes. This does away with the starchy taste. Now add the lemon extract, butter and vinegar, and stir thoroughly. Pour mixture into deep 9-inch pie shell, and let cool. Cover with meringue, and brown in oven. Never-Fail Meringue Blend cornstarch and cold water in a saucepan. Add boiling water, and cook, stirring until clear and thickened. Let stand until COMPLETELY cold. With electric beater at high speed, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar, and beat until stiff but not dry. Turn mixer to low speed; add salt and vanilla. Gradually beat in cold cornstarch mixture. Turn mixer again to high, and beat well. Spread meringue over cooled pie filling. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
