Lemon Meringue Pie

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.

But I couldn't resist picking up the camera for this today.

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.

It's completely edible and it tastes great, but it just wasn't firm. It kind of had to be scooped out of the dish :(

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 ;)
