I have been using this recipe for years. I really like the ease of it as you do not have to temper the egg yolks. I have enjoyed perfect results every time.

This IS the BEST!!!

My Mom used to make this pie off of the Kingsford Cornstarch box label. It was always my Dad's favorite and mine as well!
I'm making it for Mother's Day dessert at our son's home!!!

I have been using the recipe off the Kingsford box for over 40 years. It changed some years ago. I would like a copy of the old one (I lost mine). The old one had a couple more steps, but was better. I also adapted it to my homegrown Meyer lemons just by cutting the sugar in half. FANTASTIC!!

My uncle was a chef always used this recipe. Turn me onto it. I'm 75 now and he's dead and gone. Best best lemon pie recipe on the planet and the easiest and quickest. Can't go wrong. Flawless.

I had the older one also and lost it, would love to have it. Please publish the old Kingsford lemon meringue pie recipe. And send me a copy! Thank you Kingsford. Thanks for the public keeping this recipe alive. It is the best! Making this lemon meringue pie pie as we speak!!

I, like all of you also had the old recipe but have no idea where it went. I an 84 and this recipe was introduced to me by me great grandmother. I, too, only use Meyer lemons so you don't have to use so much sugar. If anyone has the original, :) please share
