Lemon Pie No. 2

The lemon custard filling can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. Warm slightly before pouring into the pie shell. The meringue must be made and applied immediately before the final baking and is best served the same day.

Store covered loosely with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The meringue will weep and soften over time. Do not freeze, as the meringue will become rubbery and the custard will separate upon thawing.
