MERINGUE-TOPPED PECAN CUSTARD PIE
I only use this recipe on special occasions. It's an amazing variation on the pecan pie everyone knows-the filling is a custardy delight, and the meringue gives the whole thing a lightness that's the perfect ending to a multi-course feast. -Therese Asche, Maple Grove, Minnesota
