I've made this pie many times, and each time the pie turns our absolutely delicious. I use my garden-fresh meyer lemons. I think that makes a huge difference in taste, but I'm quite biased about meyer lemons. I also add the zest of 2 large or 3 small lemons. The flavor is a bit more intense. I also cut down just a bit on the sugar because meyer lemons have a hint more sweetness than other lemons. All in all, this is an easy, sure hit recipe.
