This is awsome. I made two of these last night to take to an office potluck today. I'm up early and have just finished putting the meringue on. They are beautiful. Can't wait for noon.

The idea of raw eggs concerns me and so I love your wise advice to use the egg beaters or other such products. common sense and a dose of prevention are so attractive.
Thanks for a perfect pie.
