How to Make It
Step 1
Combine 1 1/4 cups sugar, cornstarch, butter, lemon rind, salt, and egg yolks in a heavy saucepan; stir well. Pour boiling water over sugar mixture, stirring well. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in pineapple and lemon juice. Pour filling into pastry shell.
Step 2
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over warm filling, sealing to edge of pastry. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool to room temperature.
