Lemon Meringue Pie

This is another great recipe form mom's recipe. I remember making this when I was about 13 years old. This was my favorite pie to make besides the cheesecake. It is quick and easy and taste delicious.

1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 1/3 cup Eagle Brand milk sweetened

For the Topping
