I have a bunch of fresh lemons to use up. Any good lemon recipes to use fresh lemons? Newel wants a lemon pie, but I've only ever made a lemon pie by using lemon pudding that you cook. Do you have a source for good fresh lemon ideas? I guess I could squeeze them and freeze the juice for later.

1 baked 9-inch pie shell
Bake at 350 degrees for minutes
MERINGUE : Add a 2 tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoonful cream of tartar to the remaining 4 beaten egg whites. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a 1/8 teaspoon of warm water. When the pie is baked take from the oven just long enough to spread the meringue over the top, and set back for two or three minutes, lowering temp to 250 degrees leaving the oven door open just the least bit, so as not to have it brown too quickly.
MERINGUE TIPS
Here are several home-baking tips for those who find their meringue topping weeps and/or pulls away from the crust.
Mom always spread her meringue evenly over the "hot" filling from the edge of the pie in towards the center. The meringue should touch the crust around the entire edge with no openings and make a dry seal. This spreading technique assures that the pastry edge is properly sealed with the meringue mixture, and that the hot filling cooks the meringue's bottom first, which helps to further seal it before it is browned. Undisolved sugar will make a meringue pie weep, so either use a finer granulated sugar, powdered sugar, or see that it is all dissolved when beating. Some of the old cooks add a bit of cornstarch to their meringue. They add 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch to two beaten egg whites. The cornstarch should first be dissolved in a very little warm water and beaten into the meringue after the sugar has been beaten into the whites. It helps to thicken and stabilize the meringue so that it seals well. Cornstarch also helps to keep the meringue firm and not soggy, if you're making it in hot, humid weather. Finally, don't have your oven too hot; the meringue will brown at 260̊F to 300̊F just fine. This all helps to prevent the meringue from weeping and shrinking away from the crust when making the above lemon meringue pie recipe.
