Mama's Magic Lemon Meringue Pie image

My mom used to make this pie for me on holidays. In her memory, I still make this one every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It sometimes doesn't quite set as solid as a typical lemon meringue pie, but my favorite is to eat it a little warm and gooey. Otherwise it will set in the refrigerator to a pudding like consistency.

I had some trouble getting the meringue to set properly, but the pie still tasted good.

The pie was a little too tart for my taste, but overall it was still a good recipe.
