Lemon meringue pie leaking again!

Thank you all - I’ll def. try some of your tips. Of course it didn’t really matter, except for all the sticky stuff on the dish and the tray I put it on.

People seemed to enjoy it anyway. Dh loves a LMP and I only make it about once a year. Less of a faff since I bought myself a little zesting gadget though - zesting 3 lemons with the old box grater was the bit I particularly loathed!

Oooooooh Witzend one of my most favourite desserts, and I really wouldn't care how much it leaked. I'm sitting here salivating just thinking about it. Sorry, can't help with your problem though. But I expect someone will.

I just want a piece of Lemon Meringue pie now, please.

greenlady, great minds think alike!

This might help.

-------------------------
I always make my lemon filling from condensed milk and never have a weeping problem;
400gm can of condensed milk,
juice and zest of 1 lemon,
3 egg yolks, beaten and sieved.
Mix together.

IIRC the leackage is from the meringue, not the pie filling....hang on

It helps if you coat the inside of the base with egg before you bake it. Try that next time I am sure it will be delicious I love lemon desserts.
