This disturbs me. The suggestion seems to be that something went wrong with the meringue without explicitly stating what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyttnpT9eEc At about two minutes in this video, Alton starts talking about the weeping, but he doesn’t entirely explain what happens to cause it.

That kind of pie is just about my favorite-- I used to buy it from a bakery in college (a huge one) and sit in my dorm with a fork and watch Mary Poppins. Nerd alert! Love the lemon and the meringue! Yum. Holy good god, that looks amazing. That kind of pie is just about my favorite– I used to buy it from a bakery in college (a huge one) and sit in my dorm with a fork and watch Mary Poppins.

I'm heading to Florida for my last spring break before the bar exam, and I want to eek out every last Floridian bit of joy. Which OF COURSE means key limes :) I will definitely try the key lime bar recipe!

Meringues weep when you refrigerate them, it doesn't matter what you put in them, although they seem to weep less with the cornstarch. Your pie was beautiful and I'll just bet it tasted wonderful as well. I was going to say what Billy did.

I made a 3-layer cake for my husband's b-day recently. Filled with lemon curd and raspberries. Lovely. Perfect! Until...the icing. I spent over THREE HOURS trying to get the swiss meringue buttercream (made with non-dairy margarine) to set up enough to frost the darn thing. (Must. Conquer. The Swiss Meringue Buttercream!) Not sure what went wrong, but I finally gave up, and gave in to my hubby's pleadings to please just make a plain buttercream icing, preferably one that wouldn't make me cry! :) Kristin, I had to leave a follow-up comment about stubborn tendencies in the kitchen.

Refrigerating meringue pies causes them to weep as well as not putting in the meringue while the curd was still hot. A common remedy to help keep meringue pies from weeping is to mix a bit of cornstarch with the sugar to absorb the extra moisture when you incorporate them. I know where you went wrong.

That's my go-to recipe, but it's given me trouble in the past too. Irene: I like the idea of using a Swiss or Italian meringue instead. Thanks! Spike: I feel your pain! Gena: Critical as I might be, it was a mess. Trust me! Tails: Glad I made you smile! Dawn: That sounds like a great quick alternative. But I think my stubborn tendencies have kicked in here. I. Will. Make. It. Work. : ) Abby: You couldn't see the weeping until I sliced it. But, you're right, it's always worst for the baker. Robin: Thanks! holler: That would've been worse! Thank you! Now I feel like a success. : ) Guru: I want to give this a try. Thanks for the idea! holler: Miss Meat & Potatoes: Sorry to hear about the pastry disaster.
