I found a trick for meringue that i would never have believed if i had not tried it,,,For 4 egg whites, add a half tsp cream of tarter, whip to a fluff, and add 1 seven ounce jar marshmallow cream,beat until stiff, its perfect and never weeps, I know it sounds strange but its perfect For a lemon pie I add a tsp lemon flavoring, for chocolate a tsp vanilla and for coconut a tsp coconut flavoring, I found this from a lady on youtube named Faye Thompson,
I wish somebody would show their “no weep” meringue pies after they start to cool down. I’ve tried everything I’ve ever seen on this subject. My pies do great initially but as they cool…..they start crying…..and so do I……..!! 😢😢
I agree you never see them after a good cool down. I bake for people so my pies cannot be eaten right away. I’m still on the hunt for a perfect meringue.
Same 😭 Every. Single. Time. I've tried different ways and me and the pie still end up weeping lol. But I will try this and see if it works for me. I have several people wanting to buy some pies from me but I can't bear the thought of the presentation of it with the pie weeping/beading then when they cut it, it pools.. ugh! I'll come back with an update lol
You need to add you merange to a hot filling, your eggs are not getting completely done. Hope this helps, also completely cool your pie to room temperature before refrigerating.
@@aspencer129 you have to add your meringue to a hot pie to ensure your eggs cook completely, then let your pie cool completely at room temperature before you refrigerate
My husband has always called it calf slobbers too. He worked on his sister’s dairy farm when he was young and where I’m sure he saw many calves after nursing.
Thank you for the video. I have been avoiding making lemon meringue pie for a very long time because every single time I made it my meringue weeped and got the sugar drops and just went all chewy and nasty. I will be trying this right away and have myself a beautiful lemon meringue pie for Xmas!
Adding the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to your meringue is what I’m going to consider the best tip of the year thank you for sharing this information always enjoy your show. St. Mary’s Georgia was on national news this past Sunday. Something about a man sitting by the ocean and people walking by and telling them him their problems. You must have chosen a very beautiful place to move to the scenery looked lovely.
Thank you for the cornstarch tip! I have become very discouraged making pies with meringue. My meringue was always beautiful but would weep terrible into the pie. I will give this a try! God Bless!
The cornstarch tip is a new one for me. When you said what you did about overbeating the meringue, it made me remember how I've seen other videos which state when you add vinegar or lemon juice to your meringue, you can't overbeat it any. I'm now wondering if that is so. 🤪 I'm wanting to make some meringue cookies with chopped pecans in them, and, will use your techniques here (specially the one where you add cornstarch to your sugar) so they won't have the sugar bubbles as they've had, or, weep as they sometimes have done in the past when I've made them. TYSM for sharing this video with us . Lotsa good tips about making meringue. 👍
I can't wait to try this...Mine always weep and it is so frustrating. Thank you for showing us exactly how it's done...by the way you have the most beautiful hair....Love from Alabama💖💖💖💖💖
This video gave me flashbacks of a beautiful meringue pie I cooked years ago... I took it to grandma's for Christmas dinner. I rang the bell... she answered. As soon as she opened the door and I was about to walk in... i dropped that damn pie right in the doorway.😲😱😭😭😟🤬
Thank you! It came out beautifully but I didn’t know where to put the vanilla. And I didn’t wanna take any chances. But I don’t remember when you used the vanilla
Tammy, I just tried this. It turned out good, but I think I started adding my sugar a little too soon. I did use about 3-4 drops of lemon juice because I didn’t have cream of Tatar. Good tip. . I’m a big fan! I watch your videos and crochet, get hungry, then hit the kitchen!
Same. I have tried everything even a gel you make with sugar and cornstarch that you heat up and cool then add it to meringue when you’re beating. Still weeps, and pulls away from the edge but not as much. HELP !
I am the only one around here who likes meringue so I don’t make it. Maybe I can make me a little one, or a big one and eat it all myself 🤣🤣. Thank you Tammy 💕
I just made an old fashioned raisin pie... I made a meringue In stead of a double crust...guess I over beat it... I thought I was gonna baul it doesn't look pretty at all... I will keep practicing using your recipe. Thank you
I was in the middle of making banana pudding for a friend when I saw this trick. She adores meringue on top so I didn't want to mess this up. It came out perfectly and she loved it 😊 Thanks for another winner, Tammy! ❤🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you for sharing Tammy, great tip on the use of cornstarch in the sugar. Delishish Mmmmmmm. 🤗🤗 love meringue. Have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤
@@CollardValleyCooks We have had good luck with a GE, all electric glass top. Two years and no problems. Oven heats accurate and evenly. DO NOT purchase at BIG BOX STORES. Models are made cheaper for them to sell at a lower price point. Purchase from a local Appliance Store only that is a genuine dealer in good appliances. They try to sell quality because they do not want complaints and call backs. I made your BANANA Pudding for Sunday guest. It was a hit, but my meringue was not perfect. First try, though. Thanks Tammy!
Did you add the vanilla? You said it's part of the ingredients but I didn't see you add it and it's not in the ingredients list. Also at the beginning of the video you mentioned you will add 2 tsps of cornstarch to your 1/4 tsp of sugar butt I'm guessing you meant to say 1/4 cup?
I’ve always heard you must spread it and touch the crust all the way around for it not to shrink, and I do that and never had mine shrink! Although Tammy may have a different answer.💞💕

A similar recipe is on a box for lemon meringue bars. It whips up beautifully!

Meringue, the topping my mother lovingly referred to as "Calf Slobber!" Hope everyone is having a great Monday. 😊🙏😊🙏😊🙏

This is the best meringue tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you so much! I saved this so I can do this. B.T. W. Your hair is gorgeous!
Thanks for such a great tip Tammy! Never thought to put cornstarch in with my sugar. Can’t wait to make a pie to try it out!
Nothing is better for a cream pie....thanks for this great tip!
A lovely work of both art and science! You're amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents, skills, and knowledge with us! 💕

Tammy no pressure but I’m looking forward to PB & J cake
Did you forget to add the vanilla before you put the meringue on top of the pie?
@@jlclark5758 I was wondering the same thing. When are you supposed to add it?
This video gave me flashbacks of a beautiful meringue pie I cooked years ago... I took it to grandma's for Christmas dinner. I rang the bell... she answered. As soon as she opened the door and I was about to walk in... i dropped that damn pie right in the doorway.😲😱😭😭😟🤬

Was never mentioned
I know. Vanilla was introduced in beginning but never mentioned again🤷🏻♀️
Yipeee! I followed your recipe and made a beautiful meringue for my chocolate pie. First time I've ever been successful with meringue. Thank you!
Great job!
That meringue looks beautiful!!!!
Thank you. You've. . answer my questions about the weepting and the meringue also being hard.

Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ You make a beautiful meringue!! I'm more of a whipped topping person but that sure looks delicious!😋😊❤
Tammy I’ll say it again…watching you spread topping is like watching chef ballet! 😁🤣🥰
I am the only one around here who likes meringue so I don’t make it. Maybe I can make me a little one, or a big one and eat it all myself 🤣🤣. Thank you Tammy 💕
Oh make a big one Moma!🤪🙋🏼♀️
@@evie1740 I think I will 🤣
That's an amazing looking pie my friend!! I tried a meringue top & it looked like the "Trona pinnacles"- yikes!😆😆😆
I just made an old fashioned raisin pie... I made a meringue In stead of a double crust...guess I over beat it... I thought I was gonna baul it doesn't look pretty at all... I will keep practicing using your recipe.
Thank you
Oh no! Yes just practice and you will get a better feel for it.
@@CollardValleyCooks I will. Thank you for your reply. Hope you are feeling a lil better.
When did you add the vanilla?
I did not in the meringue I only added it in the pudding
I was in the middle of making banana pudding for a friend when I saw this trick. She adores meringue on top so I didn't want to mess this
up. It came out perfectly and she loved it 😊 Thanks for another winner, Tammy! ❤🎉🎉🎉❤
Sounds great!
That pie looked gorgeous 😍 and delicious 😋 my 2 favorite pies ever are Lemon Meringue Pie 😍 & Custard Pie 😍
I want to make the pie Two days prior to eating will it he tasty???
It will taste fine but the meringue wil weep by then
@CollardValleyCooks oh so if I make it the day before will it wheel by the next day? Could I make the lemon n meringue the day off???
I would do it the day before it should be okay@@mom2blessings_sadie
Your Meringue looks amazing. Can you give me the recipe of your pie. Thank you Tammy
The video she posted yesterday had this pie recipe it was a pineapple cream pie that looked awesome…💞💕
We have seen this before 😆
Thank you for sharing Tammy, great tip on the use of cornstarch in the sugar. Delishish Mmmmmmm. 🤗🤗 love meringue. Have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤
Good morning sweetie ... I’m glad u uploaded this content again... I learn better by watching so this is perfect ... thank you .. love ya 💓💓
I don't care if you fast forward but I wish you'd tell us how long you beat them to give us an idea when to expect the results we need.
How much vanilla did you add to the meringue?
I didn't add any
How much time do you let your pie cool with the meringue topping before you refrigerate it? Thank you.
Until it is room temp
When do you add the vanilla and how much?
I do not but you could add 1/2 tsp while mixing
You just said in your video while showing us the meringue ingredients that you'll be using vanilla. ?? Oh, and great video. Can't wait to try it.
I love your stove, what brand is it? Perfect meringue! Thank you
It is a Kitchen Aid and I do not recommend it to anyone

👍✝️🙏❤️ tks!
That is a great looking pie. I am adding that one to my collection. You are looking super cute today.
Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too
Hey Neighbors 😘
Such a helpful tip. thanks Tammy!
Well you know your stuff lady because your meringue looks beautiful!
Putting meringue on your pies when the filling is still hot bonds the meringue to the filling. No weep
😘😘🇮🇪🇮🇪💯
why not just use confectioners sugar - it already has cornstarch in it.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing Tammy!
Good video. Just curious, if the pie lasted until the next day was there weeping?
Probably was, but this was a long time ago so I don't remember
Cream of tartar does the trick.
I wonder if powdered sugar could be used in place of regular sugar
Yes it can
Looks great!! You only used 3 egg whites?
4
make sure the bowl is cold also
What was the filling made of?
All of my pie recipes are on collardvalleycooks.com for you
Did you add the vanilla? You said it's part of the ingredients but I didn't see you add it and it's not in the ingredients list. Also at the beginning of the video you mentioned you will add 2 tsps of cornstarch to your 1/4 tsp of sugar butt I'm guessing you meant to say 1/4 cup?
Yes
@@CollardValleyCooks yes to what? That's not much of a response to someone asking questions on your video 🤷
@@stephaniehillier4944 yes to both questions
Why wouldn’t you use a powdered sugar if you want the sugar fine?
You can
Love your channel!
I didn't see the vanilla being added. When is this done?
The written recipe is linked in the description for you
6:50 "You can sit here and play in it all day"
Please don't!
LOL, that said, I am looking for a crunchy meringue topping for pie. Any ideas?
Actually, yes! You basically want.to make a swiss merengue. Don't pile it too high and bake at a very low temp for a long time.
How do you cut the meringue without tearing it up?
Use a bread knife
I thought you said you used vanilla
👍
In video you said vanilla
I do not use vanilla in meringue
Why does my meringue always shrink?
I’ve always heard you must spread it and touch the crust all the way around for it not to shrink, and I do that and never had mine shrink! Although Tammy may have a different answer.💞💕
It is not sealed on the sides
Looks so yummy! What about the pineapple filling recipe?
It is in the previous day's video
@@CollardValleyCooks Aww... thanks I need to pay attention. Love your channel. 😊
Where do the sugar droplets come from?
That is what the cornstarch is for to absorb the liquid that forms
I was going to give a couple tips, but you covered it. So, well done video. And who chills a pie, I eat them.
I put my pies on a cookie sheet to brown them more easy to handy..
❤ beautiful !
Meringue powder works on the same basis I would guess BUT I am in agreement with Tam.
Absolutely beautiful pie
Im making a lemon condensed pie making 4 of them do i heat the pie with filling before putting the mergine on
Good to know
Yummy
when did you put the vanilla in
I do not use vanilla for meringue
Tammy, you looked beautiful and your hair is outstanding! You always give such great advice and tips! Thanks 🥰
Thanks for this tip! Your pie is beautiful and Tammy you are looking good!
Thank you so much for the cornstarch tip!
Thank you made a different one and it was a disaster, will now make it your way.
Thank you Tammy. I always learn so much from you.
