There are some warnings in a lemon meringue pie recipe. Build the crust up over the edge of the tin (to prevent burning) and blind bake it (to prevent soggy crusts).

No one said, don’t wait 40 minutes to put the pie in the oven.

I had 4 hours to make the pie. Except we had a crisis. I was still assembling it half an hour after we were supposed to have left for my brother’s. The dinner needed to reheat, so we’d cook the pie while we were eating.

My husband drove carefully to my brother’s, the liquid pie precariously balanced in my lap. The lovely mound of meringue slowly deflated.

It looked and smelled amazing. But when we cut it open, a flood of sugar water rushed out. It was a disaster.

But it tasted delicious!
