Lemon Pie No. 3

The pie crust can be blind-baked up to 1 day ahead and stored at room temperature, covered loosely with plastic wrap. The filling must be made fresh and baked immediately, as cornstarch-thickened mixtures can break down if held too long before cooking.

Store the baked pie covered loosely with aluminum foil (to prevent condensation from making the crust soggy) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The pie is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. Do not freeze, as the cornstarch filling will become spongy and weep upon thawing.
