Lemon Meringue Pie

3 key ingredients for a fantastic lemon meringue pie:

1. Lots of fresh, local Meyer lemons (preferably from a friend's tree)
2. Happy chicken eggs
3. Gluten-free ginger snaps for the crust

Use any recipe you like for the custard; but the first two items will provide the lightness for the meringue and the richness and freshness for the custard.

For the crust, most cookie-crumb recipes will do - the ginger snaps just provide a nice counter-flavor to the lemon curd.
