- Bake pie shell. Heat oven to 400. Mix sugar and cornstarch in medium saucepan.
Gradually stir in water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
thickens and boils. Boil and stir one minute. Gradually stir at least half the hot
mixture into egg yolks. Blend into hot mixture in pan. Boil and stir 1 minute
(2 minutes for 10-inch pie). Remove from heat; stir in butter, lemon peel, lemon
juice and food color. Pour into baked pie shell.
- Heap meringue onto hot pie filling; spread over filling, carefully sealing meringue
to edge of crust to prevent shrinking or weeping.
- Bake about 10 minutes or until a delicate brown. Cool away from draft.
