As one of the hostesses in January I found that there was a considerable amount of sliced lemons going home with me. The question was, "What should I do with the lemons?" So this morning it was decided that they would go into a Lemon Meringue Pie.
Graham Cracker Crust
Lemon Filling
Instructions
Combine the flour, cornstarch and the 1 cup of sugar in a medium-sized sauce pan. Add lemon juice, zest and water. Stir. Cook on medium heat, stirring often until it boils. Add ½ cup of the hot mixture slowly into the egg yolks, stirring constantly. Add the yolk mixture to the hot mixture, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil. Remove from the heat.
Whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the 6 tablespoons of sugar while beating. Continue to beat until stiff peaks are formed.
Pour the lemon mixture into the crust in the pie plate. Top with the egg whites pulling the meringue to the edge of the crust to seal.
Bake in 325 degree oven until whites are golden brown. Watch carefully so not to brown too much.
Maybe a good option for the Circle Bake Sale around the 4th of July!
That does not mean the members are idle! The Needles group meets year round. It was formed a number of years ago for members who wanted to learn how to needlepoint or perfect their skills. The desings are created by our member, Connie Mason assisted by Jill Lovejoy. Each ornatment has depicted an Annisquam landmark, for example, the Annisquam Lighthouse. It will be presenting a new ornament at the Annual ASC Christmas Fair again this year. The design is known to the Needles group and unveiled at the Fair.
Other members are knitting, sewing and preparing jams and jellies. They are also part of the Annual Sea Fair held the last Saturday in July, manning the various activities.
