This recipe which I adopted from the RecipeZaar account has been changed. The ingredints did not match the directions and as I hadn't made it (and could find no close match on the internet to see where the error was) I have revised this recipe. I HAVE made these before and they are delicious. If you love lemon meringue pie, you are in for a treat.
