Oh Stacy it looks just wonderful...beads of moisture and all!
I bet Scott was thrilled with such a beautiful birthday tart.

Just think those beads are like little pearls which decorate your lovely gift to him! Nothing negative at all.

I went to the site you mentioned but I could not find your pie.
It looks wonderful so would you post receipe here.
Thanks, Lois

We all sweat a little when we're about to go onstage. Your pie had nothing to worry about, though--it's beautiful! You did a great job.

After posting I found the recipe. It really looks and sounds yummy and I do like lemon.
Lois

Looks yummy!!
Meringue weeps because you didn't beat long enough to completely dissolve the sugar. Pinch a little of the stuff between your fingers as you are beating to test for sugar grains...If you feel some, beat it more.

Beautiful lemon tart,Stacy.

Shelley

That looks soooo good. I love lemon meringue as a tart, especially with tons of meringue. Smiles.... slurp.

oh thanks everyone! And thank Linda, for the tip. I only hope I remember it the next time I make a meringue pie/tart. That is my probelm, I do these things so seldom, that I rarely remember the tips.

Thank you - my aunt came for dinner today - her bday was Friday, and loves lemon, so they had the leftovers....

Stacy

Beautiful job Stacy! The crust is so pretty and it looks so yummy.

Tracey

Stacey, that is one beautiful tart! I'm off now to look for the recipe -

Lori

Stacy way to go girl! That's one beautiful pie.

Happy Birthday to Scott!!!

Very nice! I'd love it!

Nancy

Stacy, your lemon meringue tart is a beauty.

Ann

Ditto!

I love lemon and that looks so good. You did good!

thanks again! And I failed to mention that I made it in the tart pan sent from AnnT in a swap and it was served on the beautiful cake plate sent by Jessica in another swap...:-)

Oh stacy - that is just gorgeous! Sounds like a wonderful celebration!

Alexa

Linda

Great picture of a great American classic, Stace.

Happy Belated Birthday Scott!

Sol

Oh man....YUM!

Glad your party didn't get rained out. Sounds like a good time for sure.

David

That looks sooooo good, Stacy!

Interesting about the moisture beads, too! My mom's meringue always had those, so I thought they were just supposed to be on meringue! LOL

Linda

My pie didnt set 😢

If you used cornstarch, you may have overcooked it. Past a certain point, it starts to break down.

'Its fine it just needed to chill in the fridge…trying to send a photo but cant

i figured it out obviously

Thank you!

Looks good! But to avoid a future setting issue which chilling doesn’t fix, only cook your filling until it first gets thick enough. Cooking it for longer isn’t helpful.

That looks luscious, HU-700!

I’ve been cheating and making lemon filling to eat with gingersnap cookies :)

Now I’m curious to know if anyone has ever used a torch to brown your meringue? :)

Beautiful and delicious looking. I bow.

I did once, but it wasn't my torch and wasn't in my kitchen. It's like toasting a marshmallow, only the flame that moves rather than the white stuff. I have a lovely Rösle kitchen torch that was a gift, years ago. It's so scary, I've never even put in the fuel. I think I'd be better with one of those big fuel bottles with the crooked torch hose attachment that they use on TV. My island is soapstone, and I have big suede mitts, but still, I'm a wuss.

So, it worked fine, but there was some smell of butane. That was probably just left from during lighting it, and it's probably my imagination that thought it could taste it, but I have a really good oven and it toasts meringue just fine!

I have dozens of lemons right now - more than I can store in the freezer - and so I have to figure out what I can do with them.

I love lemon meringue pie, but I generally make lemon curd tarts instead. I think I should try lemon meringue for a change. I used to make meringue pies, but mostly chocolate or coconut.
