I have been flat out busy the last few weeks, with different things and unfortunately, photographing none of it. I've been baking and sewing and, in a very conscious effort to be more mindful and 'present' I haven't been picking up the camera to document it. Which doesn't work for the poor old blog, I'm working on finding a nice balance.
I was given a huge amount of lemons, mandarins and oranges a couple of weeks ago. More than we ever could possibly consume. I've given loads away but still I had lemons just sitting there.
So I thought I'd give Lemon Meringue Pie a go.
I used this recipe (except I used a store bought pie shell), but I must've done something wrong (no idea what), because the lemon part of the pie didn't set properly.

But like I said, it still *tasted* good, so not a total write off (not by my standards anyway, lol)
So now I'm on a mission to try again and make it perfect.
If there are any lemon meringue pie experts out there................call me ;)

And used this recipe here: http://bebybelinda.blogspot.com/2011/04/tip.html
Let me know if you can't read the recipe properly.
Good luck!!
Thanks Belinda, going to try your recipe! Lemon Meringue pie is so good............even the crappy ones ;)
We've got the same lemon overload atm and I was thinking of making some deliciously decadent lemon curd. I seriously LOVE lemon curd and could eat it as its own food group. Your pie looks yummo, but bummer about the setting part. Sounds like it ended up a meringue-y curd on its own. Mmmmmm....
