PINEAPPLE SOUR CREAM AND MERINGUE PIE
A delicious, old recipe passed down from my Great-Grandmother. You will not be disappointed with the flavor. It's rich and creamy with a meringue top! Recipe may look complicated, but it's not -- much of the time spent is waiting for the filling to cool before assembling pie.

PINEAPPLE MERINGUE PIE
Last recipe I plan to post to tonight folks as my warped sense of humor is really showing in the typing of this recipe. The pie shell reminders could actually be to myself at times! As easy to dive into a recipe at times & skip a vital step at the beginning. It was the typo I found on my hard copy that got me silly tonight. Any...

Steps:
- 1. Must pre-bake your pie shell, if you didn't notice this in the list of ingredients.
- 2. In a LARGE saucepan, combine the Sugar, Cornstarch, & Salt into the Pineapple until blended. Bring to a boil; cook & stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
- 3. Gradually stir in 1 CUP OF THE HOT FILLING into the Egg Yolks (this will assure the yolk doesn't start cooking. think it is called tempering the egg yolk. as in do not add the yolks to the hot mixture but add some of the hot mixture to the egg yolks). Return ALL to the saucepan, stirring constantly. (i love my typos at times, as my hard copy I typed says SITTING CONSTANTLY instead of stirring constantly. Choice is yours, folks!
- 4. Bring to a gentle boil, cook & stir, you can sit but stir please, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat & stir in the Lemon Juice. Keep warm, must mean the filling not the cook. But stay warm any way this winter.
- 5. Gently reminding you, if you haven't pre-baked the pie shell, you might want to consider it now.
- 6. In a mixing bowl, beat the Egg Whites & Cream of Tartar on MEDIUM SPEED until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the Sugar, 1 Tablespoon at a time on HIGH until stiff peaks form.
- 7. NOTE: you could add 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract to the Meringue when making it. Maybe added almost at the end of making it.
- 8. Pour HOT FILLING, yes, the keep it warm filling, into the pre-baked pie shell. Spread Meringue over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. (that will help in the meringue not shrinking going by recall).
- 9. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Refrigerate leftovers.
Tips:
- Use a ripe pineapple. A ripe pineapple will be more flavorful and juicy, resulting in a better pie.
- Grate the pineapple finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the pie and prevent it from becoming too chunky.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will become dry and brittle, making the meringue difficult to spread.
- Bake the pie until the meringue is golden brown. This will ensure that the meringue is cooked through and has a slightly crispy texture.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the meringue to firm up.
Conclusion:
Pineapple meringue pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, fluffy meringue, and bright pineapple flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give pineapple meringue pie a try!
