Staff Challenge - Mini Lemon Meringue Pies by Kim B

Over the weekend I have made Mini Lemon Meringue Pies with my family.  

I chose to make these as my Mum used to make a lemon meringue pie for family get togethers and special occasions.  Making mini lemon meringue pies was a good way to get the kids involved and added some fun to our weekend and also brought back some lovely childhood memories.
