FAQ
1. Can I use bottled lemon juice?
Freshly squeezed lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor, but bottled juice can be a substitute in a pinch.
2. Why does my meringue shrink?
Meringue shrinkage often happens when it isn’t sealed to the crust. Be sure to spread the meringue all the way to the edges of the pie.
3. Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the pie a day in advance, but add the meringue no more than a few hours before serving for optimal texture.
