I used the word Real in the headline because this is not the lemon pie that we make from that little box. Nope! This is the real McCoy with freshly squeezed lemon juice. For some reason lemons mean spring to me. I guess because my mother always made lemon meringue pies each year for Easter. So, this year, even though it was just Mr. Autumn and I, I followed the family tradition.
I used a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Pies and Cakes book. It was a wedding gift from my third grade teacher, and in June we will celebrate 40 years. I guess it’s safe to say the recipe is tried and true.

That looks very much like my recipe, and my mum’s. I had lemon meringue pie at her place on Monday – a spring treat in our family too.

I love real lemon pies, I haven’t had one in a long time. My aunt used to make them for us 🙂
