Yankee Grapefruit Meringue Pie image

I'm intrigued by this recipe, which I have not tried yet. I've never heard of grapefruit meringue pie before but I love grapefruit, so I hope it will be good. I'm guessing as to number of grapefruit segments it will take to trim the pie; it may take more than 1 grapefruit.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of grapefruit. If you like grapefruit, then you'll probably love this pie.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making cookies or cakes, and this pie is a perfect way to use them up.

This pie was a hit at my party! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination. The only problem was that it disappeared too quickly!

I was skeptical about how grapefruit and meringue would taste together, but I was pleasantly surprised! The tartness of the grapefruit was balanced out perfectly by the sweetness of the meringue. This pie is a great way to use up leftover grapefruit.
