Remove from heat and stir in butter. Add lemon peel and juice and stir until smooth. Cool and pour into baked pie shell.
- 3. Meringue: Beat egg whites with the cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in the 6 Tbs. of sugar a little at a time. Beat until the meringue stands in firm, glossy, peaks. Add lemon juice and lemon peel and continue to beat a few more minutes. Spread meringue on pie making sure it touches the inner edges of the crust. Bake in a slow oven (325F) 10 minutes, or, until delicately browned. Cool.
