Food Fun and Facts Recipe for Bob Hope's Favorite Lemon Pie Recipe

Bob Hope's Favorite Lemon Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
4 lightly beaten egg yolks
dash of salt
grated lemon rind of a lemon
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar
1 baked pie shell

Combine the cornstarch and sugar in pot.  Add water slowly, stirring constantly until thick and smooth.  Add the lightly beaten egg yolks, butter, lemon rind, lemon juice and salt. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes.

Pour into a baked pie shell. 

Make a meringue from the 3 egg whites that have been beaten stiff with 2 tablespoons of sugar. 
Top the lemon pie with the meringue. 

Bake in  a 300 degree oven for 15 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool to a room temperature before refrigerating.  This will help keep the meringue from weeping.

Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies

Legendary Recipes from Virginia's Queen of Pie.

Mrs. Rowe, known fondly as "the Pie Lady" by legions of loyal customers, was the quintessential purveyor of all-American comfort food.

Today her family carries on this legacy at the original Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant and Bakery in Staunton, Virginia, as well as at the new country buffet. The restaurant's bustling take-out counter sells a staggering 100 handmade pies every day!

With the pies being snapped up that quickly, it's no wonder that Mrs. Rowe urged her customers to order dessert first.

In Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies, recipes for Southern classics like Key Lime Pie and Pecan Fudge Pie sit alongside restaurant favorites like French Apple Pie and Original Coconut Cream Pie.

Additional recipes gathered from family notebooks and recipe boxes include regional gems like Shoofly Pie and Lemon Chess Pie.

With berries and custards and fudge--oh my!--plus a variety of delectable crusts and toppings, this mouth watering collection offers a little slice of Southern hospitality that will satisfy every type of sweet tooth--and convince even city slickers to take the time to smell the Fresh Peach Pie.

  • Mix It Up With Jenny - Beat the Heat with Lemonade Treats

    (Family Features) - There's nothing like the sweet tartness of lemonade to help you cool down on a hot summer day. This summer I'm trying some new ways to enjoy the refreshing taste of lemonade - I hope you like them, too!

    Fresh Homemade Lemonade: The best lemonade is made with a simple syrup - the smooth sweetness of the syrup means that you don't get undissolved sugar in your glass. To make it, heat 1 cup sugar and 1 cup  water in sauce pan until sugar dissolves. Add 1 cup fresh lemon juice to the simple syrup. Then add 3 to 4 cups cold water, some lemon slices, and you're ready to drink sunshine in a glass.

    Frozen Lemonade Slushy: Use your blender to make a quick frozen treat. Add 1 cup fresh lemon juice, sugar to taste (up to 1/2 cup), ice cubes and chilled water to the fill line; blend until slushy. Pour into tall glasses and enjoy with a spoon. For a variation add some strawberries or mint to the blender.

    Lemon Ice Cubes: Freshen up summer drinks with lemon ice. Squeeze fresh lemons and put the juice in ice cube trays. (You can also add some zest for an extra lemon boost.)  Freeze them, and then store in a plastic bag in the freezer. Use them to flavor your water, or add fresh lemon taste to a glass of cola, iced tea or fruit juice.

    Another thing I'm looking forward to making is this Frozen Lemonade Pie. Cool and creamy and full of fabulous lemonade flavor. With all this delicious flavor, it's going to be easy to chill out this summer!
