Meyer"s Lemon Pie: Hybred Vigor
I adapted this recipe for a Meyer's Lemon pie from a combination of a lime icebox pie and a lemon chiffon pie. Meyer's lemon are rapidly growing in popularity - they're sweeter and, to my mind, more lemony than the common lemon - but they're still not easy to find around here so when I do spot them I buy them. You'll find the pie is luscious after you first few spring grilling meals. (Larger image.) Makes 4 generous slices.
