This is one of my family's holiday dessert favorites. The lemonade gives it the extra twist.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We can't wait to make this super simple lemon meringue pie on a hot summer day. Using lemon concentrate gives a wonderful lemon flavor to the pie without the work. It's sweet, tart, and creamy. On top is a meringue that is fluffy and perfectly sweet. The meringue balances the flavors on this lovely lemon pie.
