Oh Bless! Her recipe book is wonderful and so very old Her Mothers recipes are in there too.

Makes me think about how many of us just rely on the net and to print out a page.

Nana Ruth ROCKS!

Hey! I figured out how to stop the condensation!! let the pie cool down completely before putting on the meringue and spread it right to the sides of the crust to seal the filling from the heat again. The meringue only has to brown you see by that stage and that happens quickly so the filling wont heat up that much again and cause steam. have a go! works for me.(:))
