Lemon Meringue Pie Daring Baker Style
As the month went on, there was talk from other DBer's that they had a problem with a watery filling. This made me nervous, surely this would not happen to me and that putting my pie together would go perfectly.
Made the pie dough...went together great! Baked it....perfect. While the crust was cooling, I made the lemon curd...oh, that wonderful, tart lemon curd! Very tasty. Let it cool, and then I made the meringue without any problems. Can this be? Did my pie turn out just the way that it should? Unfortunately, no. I had the watery mess, but, it did taste great!
I don't regret making this pie. That is part of being a Daring Baker...some turn out, and some don't. A great big Thank you to Jen for choosing a great dessert to start off the New Year. Check out her Lemon Meringue Pie for the recipe. And, don't forget to check out all of the other Daring Baker's on their experience.

Sometimes the taste is all that matters. Whats important is what we learn from these great experiments.

Ah my comment just disappeared in some error thing. Anyway, your pie looks great! And you were patient enough to wait to cut it too. I find it really hard to wait!

Looks great! Looks like it set up well even if it did leak some! Mine did the same thing but cut and served fairly well.

I've read a TON of lemon meringue blogs, today, and I've noticed a lot of people had that watery problem. Could it be the recipe?
I don't think it's your technique.
It does look beautiful, though. - January 29, 2008 at 12:56 AM

I'm starting think this dessert could be called lemon meringue pudding. But it seems you did a very good job making the pie. A good pudding is as good as a good pie.

Well done April. At least it tasted delicious. My filling was not too watery but as I made individual tarts I didn't have to cut it. Perhaps that's the answer

You have a really lovely lemon meringue pie there. Frankly I think that they all weep a bit. It's their nature. And if they don't weep maybe the baker used a boxed mix.
