My Mother’s Old Fashioned Lemon Pie Recipe
This recipe was developed by my mother, Margaret Cousins Matteson, of Oxford, NC, and her sister, Virginia Cousins Walters, of Petersburg, VA. I can vouch for how good it is having had it many times in my childhood. You can add more lemon juice if a more intense lemon flavor is desired.
