Cool thoroughly. Pour 2 3/4 to 3 cups filling into each unbaked pie shell. Cover with
top crust. Seal edges. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned. When pies are
removed from oven and are still hot, spread 1/3 cup glaze over each top crust. Cut 6
wedges per pie.

8 oz lemons A.P. (2 lemons) will yield 6 tablespoon juice.

into each unbaked pie shell. Cut 8 wedges per pie instead of 6.
