    List of Ingredients




    Cantaloupe Meringue Pie from David


    1 medium cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut up
    1 cup sugar
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    3 egg yolks
    4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    Dash of salt
    1 large (10-inch) graham cracker pie shell
    .
    For meringue:
    3 egg whites
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla

    Recipe




    In a blender or food processor, process cantaloupe pieces until
    smooth (you will have about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of pureé melon). Pour
    cantaloupe into a mixing bowl; add sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks,
    salt, vanilla and melted butter or margarine. Mix with an electric
    mixer until well blended. Pour into pie shell and place on a baking
    sheet to catch spillovers; bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes
    or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Top with an
    even layer of meringue; bake for another 15 minutes. Meringue: Beat
    egg whites until soft peaks begin to form; gradually add sugar then
    vanilla.


    Note: The egg whites should be fully cooked if the meringue layer is
    evenly spread (not piled high) and cooked for 15 minutes at 350°.
    Alternatively, you can use powdered egg whites or serve untopped pie
    with sweetened whipped cream.
