Across the Miles, an Heirloom Recipe From The Waters on Mayowood

Last night The Waters Restaurants served an Heirloom dessert, lemon meringue pie. The recipe came to us care of Doris MacCannon, a resident at The Waters on Mayowood. Doris, in turn, got the recipe from Lorene Radakovich, a St. Mary Corwin Hospital central pool volunteer in Pueblo, Colorado.

This recipe came to be noticed by the medical staff and volunteers, as well as the general public, when it was included in the hospital’s annual Thanksgiving bake sale. The sponsor of the event was the St. Mary-Corwin Volunteer Services Department staff, a group of 325 junior and adult volunteers ranging in age from 14 to 95.

Doris likes to serve this pie to guests because:

•             Ingredients are very inexpensive

•             It is easy to make and store

•             Preparation time is short

•             Visually beautiful

•             Great taste and texture

•             Can be served at room temperature

•             Can be stored frozen

•             Servings can be large of small
