Lemon meringue pie with 2 lemons(レモンたっぷり、レモンメレンゲパイ)

I found lemon meringue pies in supermarkets are too sweet.  I often find sugar comes first before anything else on the ingredient list, in fact. I also noticed that many lemon meringue pie recipes only use 1-2 spoons of lemon juice. In this recipe, I use some brown sugar and whole 2 lemons--both juice and pulp.

ここオーストラリアの市販のレモンメレンゲパイは甘過ぎると感じる私です。原材料を見ると、砂糖が一番最初で小麦粉より多いようです。「じゃあ自分で作ろう」と思い立つものの、「レモンジュースをスプーン1−2杯だけ」というレシピがほとんど。試行錯誤の末、ブラウンシュガーを少しとレモンジュースと果肉を丸々2個分使って美味しいパイが作れるレシピを考案!レシピは "Read more"をクリックしてね:
