Mix the cornstarch and water to make a smooth paste and then add to boiling water slowly, stirring constantly. Cook unitl thick and clear. Remove from heat. (Sometimes this takes a couple minutes and sometimes it just gets thick real fast.)

Combine the egg yolks and lemon juice and beat a bit with a fork. Stir into above and return to heat and cook stirring constantly until it bubbles again.

Remove from heat, stir in butter and lemon peel.

Cover and cool until lukewarm.

Make your pie shell and then make the meringue.

For your meringue add salt to the egg whites and beat until frothy. Gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar beating until glossy peaks are formed. Stir 2 tablespoons of meringue into the lukewarm filling.

Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell. Pile on the meringue, be sure to go all the way to the edge of pie to seal it in.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes or until just browned.
