Hi all,

I'm in So Cal visiting mom (she is having surgery tomorrow - please keep her in your prayers). Today she shared with me this recipe for meringue from a regional cookbook I remember her having when I was a kid - written then by little ol' ladies back home in TX. So this recipe for a stablized meringue must be well over 50 yrs old.

Mom, who is 87 yrs young, tried it for the first time yesterday and I am reaping the rewards eating moms famous chocolate pie with a perfect meringue so I thought I'd share it all with you

Meringue

1 T cornstarch

2 T sugar

1/2 c water

Mix together and cook above ingreds until thick and clear.

Beat 3 egg whites

until they form peaks and add

1 t vanilla.

Add cooked mixture to the eggs and continue beating. Add

2 T sugar per egg white

and beat until glossy. Put on pie and cook for 30 mins or until brown at 325 F.

Enjoy!

 
Please tell your mother, I will say a prayer for her + Lemon Meringue is my absolute favorite

and I have a recipe for lemon meringue but... my meringue tastes like egg whites. I have a lemon tree that is in bloom soooooooo can you guess what I am making for Sunday?

Seriously Maria,

I hope your mom gets better and please tell her thank you for this wonderful recipe, when I make this meringue, I will most certainly keep her in mind. I will report back to you and sincerely let you know how well I followed your mother's recipe.

God Bless your mother and you. Dianne

 
THANK YOU ALL! Mom Update: NO Cancer!!!!

Mom made it through surgery yesterday with flying colors... they removed the polyp and her appendix to boot, but the best news is no cancer and she gets to keep her colon!

Thank you all for your prayers -- clearly they worked!
