Peanut Butter Meringue Pie
My four sons clamor for the peanut butter pie. My mom found the recipe from a farmwife magazine in the 1960s, and now I'm teaching our sons' wives to make it. —Judy Hernke, Mundelein, Illinois

This is a great pie. Everyone loves it. And it does get easier every time you make it! I always can count on Taste of Home!
My family loves this pie,I use a pre baked crust,I stick to the recipe, made this about a half dozen times,gets easier every time you use it.
I was anxious to make this because it sounded so good. It took a very long time to make and the results were very disappointing. After one slice, I disposed of the whole pie.
I haven't made this since the mid 90's for my former late husband. My current husband says he'd like me to make him one! I myself would rather have butterscotch pie!
I do a short cut method. I purchase and make cooked vanilla pudding instead of this and use cool whip instead of meringue. It works and my family loves it.
so want to try this but please can you tell me exactly how much is a DASH?
My first attempt at a meringue pie and it turned out delicious!!! I made it for a cookout at a friends house.
This is "very" close to my grandmother's Blue Ribbon winning pie. I hope everyone cooks, eats, and enjoys.
This pie was phenomenal! I made it for our family Christmas party and gave another one to a friend who is a peanut butter pie lover. The family raved about it, and my friend said it was the best peanut butter pie she's ever had. It was very simple to make and one of many other Taste Of Home recipes that I will keep.
Love it, love it, love it! I, too, have been making and enjoying this pie since the 60's. It is one of my favorites.
