    I enjoyed this recipe, but wish I would have read the previous comments first. There does in fact seem to be a step missing here - whether cooking the filling for 10 minutes first, or refrigerating the pie for several hours before cutting. If you follow the instructions as written and try to eat the pie immediately, it will indeed be runny. However, my grandmother made a version of this, so I knew it was an "icebox" pie and chilled it overnight. Perfect consistency the next day. Also, as another person mentioned, don't be impatient about making the meringue - it takes a long time, even with a KitchenAid mixer - but it's worth the wait. I don't really understand those who are complaining about the taste; it's delicious!

    I would like to start saying this pie rocks. I made it for a party yesterday and not one person said a negitive. Thank you Paula Deen.

    Here is some tips for making the Pie.
    cream or tattar should be cream of tarar.
    Don't freak out with the Meringue, it takes about 10 mintues.
    I hope these tips will help you.

    I did a little twist to this one...never made a lemon meringue pie before...but instead of 3 lemons I used juice from 2 lemons and juice from 1 lime...I have a standing order from friends and the gentleman that I live with and care for...it was perfect...and I'm sure that if I had followed it according to Ms. Dean's recipe it would have been perfect...it was one of the easiest pies I've ever baked! Thank You Ms. Dean!

    Let me begin by saying this: If I could give this recipe no stars, I would. I come from a strong line of bakers in my family and I have made everything from creme brulle to an earth-shattering baklava that everyone tells me is the best they've ever had. I also make a mean tiramisu that has perfect flavor and consistency. I'm no pastry chef by trade, but everyone tells me I should be.

    That said, this pie is THE worst recipe ever and it made me look like a fool this Thanksgiving. The pie was runny, the meringue fell, and the condensed milk made it smell like stinky feet. No way should anyone use condensed milk in a lemon meringue pie, or deviate from the perfect meringue: 4oz sugar, 4 egg whites.

    If I were Paula Deen, a master chef, I would never put my name on this recipe. From now on, I'll just stick with my lemon jello based pie, or a $6 pie from Village Inn....shame on you Paula!

    This is the greatest Lemon Meringue Pie that I have every made! I have made it several times for my lemon-loving family and it has been ravenously devoured every time! The only thing is that there is a typeo. It says "cream OR tartar" instead of "cream OF tartar" so please don't use cream or else it won't be close to a meringue. :
