Meringue Pie Shell
Beat egg whites until foamy; add cream of tartar and beat until whites peak.
Add 1 cup sugar gradually while continuing to beat until stiff.
Use to line bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, buttered, hollowing out most of the center and being careful not to spread too close to the rim.
Bake in slow oven 275-degrees for 1 hour. Cool.
Heavenly Pie
Meanwhile beat egg yolks slightly; stir in 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, rind, and salt.
Cook in the top of double boiler over boiling water until thick enough to mound when dropped from a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
Remove and cool.
Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream; fold into lemon-egg mixture and use to fill meringue shell.
Chill in refrigerator about 24 hours.
Just before serving, garnish with remaining cup of heavy cream, whipped.
