She passed when he was young so I sadly never was able to meet her. But this is the only pie he has tried that even came close to tasting as good as hers.

I was able to really impress the inlaws with pie and coffee this past Sunday. This was by far the best pie that has come out of my kitchen. <br /><br />I also had a little bit of an issue with the cornstarch in the meringue. The first time I left it on the heat for too long and it turned into a really thick glob that didn't mix in well. The second time left in on the heat for a few seconds and took it off immediately. Second time worked much better.<br /><br />I'm sure after doing this a few times it will keep getting better.<br /><br />Thank you so much for this recipe. Everyone loved it!Mrs Chrisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854633629773327872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-79032047525473104712011-08-05T00:01:06.656-07:002011-08-05T00:01:06.656-07:00Jasmine,

If it is giving you any trouble just omit it and make the topping like a standard french meringue. It provides a nice mouthfeel and helps a bit with the moisture but it isn't absolutely necessary to make a successful pie. <br /><br />If the meringue itself is chunky, well then that is another issue. Meringues that appear seedy, or to have small curd-ish looking lumps are usually broken. In which case one just needs to be mindful of the beating speed and time to ensure one does not over beat the egg whites.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-9406883730805632772011-08-04T16:44:11.454-07:002011-08-04T16:44:11.454-07:00I love your blog!

Can't potato starch withstand high heat and maybe therefore absorb more moisture at longer cooking times?
