Instructions

Line up all the ingredients and have everything ready to go.Prepare the meringue as directed at the bottom or wait and prepare it after you make the filling. I prefer to make the meringue first so that it’s ready to go and I can quickly slather it on top of a piping hot filling.

Mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large (3 ½ quart) non-aluminum saucepan.
