Can Jen float my boat?

When they first announced Lemon Meringue Pie, I wasn't that thrilled. It is not in my top 10. Come to think about it, I don't think it even ranks in my top 20. Funny, I love lemon bars, I love meringue cookies, I love pie. Lemon meringue pie just doesn't float my boat.

Until now!

I waited till the last minute to fulfill my challenge. That gave me ample time to read every one's trial and tribulations on the DB blog. So I expected some weeping of the meringue and puddles of congealed lemon curd. What I got was an amazing pie. I made four mini pies because I thought I could give one or two away. (which I didn't) Besides the fact, that they are just so darn cute!

The lemon curd set up nice without even a hint of ooze.

The meringue, Oh the lovely meringue. It was a billowing melt in your mouth fluffy puff. Yes, I loved the meringue!


The pie crust. Well, as careful as I was not to overwork it, it came out a little tough. But not so tough that it stopped anybody from eating it.
The crust, The pie, I'd like to try again.

A big thank you to Jen of The Canadian Baker for hosting and picking such an awesome recipe.

You made my boat float!

You can find the recipe there. So grab another cup of coffee and go look at all the other pies and start keep drooling over their creations.

I hope you have a lemon meringue kind of day!
