beat in sugar mixture, 1 tbsp at a time
then drop in cornstarch mixture 1 tbsp. at a time until stiff peaks form.

Lifting with the back of a spoon, to create peaks in the meringue
Bake at 325 (remember to preheat) until golden brown, about 20 minutes
COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE SERVING
Oh ya just a little
NOTE: when you are at this stage
right before it starts thickening I strain the curd, makes for a smoother pie
and then place back into the sauce pan and continue (I do this about 3 or 4 mintues once I have started cooking the curd)
