Cranberry Meringue Pie

From EatingWell: November/December 2012

If you’re a fan of lemon meringue pie, you’ll love this festive cranberry meringue pie recipe. For the fluffiest meringue, set your eggs out at room temperature for about 15 minutes or submerge (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm water for 5 minutes before beating—egg whites at room temperature will gain more volume than cold whites.

Awesome awesomeness

This was my first time making a meringue pie. I was always intimidated but this pie was relatively easy. People seemed leery to try it at first but once they tasted it, everyone loved it! I am going to try to use the crust and topping and switch to a lemon filling for Easter. The cranberry will be coming back in the fall though.

Pros: Great flavor and presentation.

This crust is a joke

The recipe for the crust is a joke... I'm really not sure how no one else had a problem with it unless they used a store bought crust. I used the exact measurements and ingredients supplied with the recipe. The mixture was NOT like "wet sand" unless they meant "soaking wet, oily sand". I went ahead and attempted to make it work in the pie plate; no good. The oozy texture of the raw crust would not stay on the sides of the pie plate. I did not bake this crust, but made a similar homemade crust from a trustworthy source. And I second one reviewer's comment that the calorie count-to-photo representation is a sham -- no way is that slice a 10th of a pie. For shame, Eating Well.

Delicious

First off, I've never made a meringue before and was surprised how easy it was. The pie was very easy to make and has a lovely color. Some of my family said it was too sweet, however, I feel it has a nice sweetness and tart to it. I got compliments on the crust. My favorite part was the meringue. It was sweet, light, and slightly crispy on the browned peaks.

Pros: Beautiful presentation

Amazing-And Easy

This pie was amazing. I don't generally bake but when seeing the picture in the magazine, I had to try it.

It came out looking exactly like the picture and the taste was amazing! This is definitely a keeper of a recipe, even for a guy who doesn't bake!

Pros: Easy to follow instructions

a new thanksgiving staple!

i made this for thanksgiving this year. it was a definite hit. the oldest of guests loved it, but so did my 3 year old son. in fact, i also made a decadent peanut butter and chocolate pie and there are still leftovers of that one. this one didn't make it past black friday because everyone loved it so much. i'm not new to baking, but i'm also not a professional. the meringue is much more intimidating in theory than in execution. MAKE THIS PIE!!! (i'm making another one today)

Pros: not too complicated, few ingredients, awesome flavor
