• Do not beat until eggs stiffen.
• Add sugar, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Do not under beat. Beat until sugar dissolves to help prevent beading.
• To test, rub some of meringue between your fingers to see if it is still grainy.
• (The grains are undissolved sugar) Continue to beat until stiff, pointed peaks for when beater is slowly lifted.
• Place spoonfuls of meringue around edge of pie filling, spreading it so it touches inter edge of crust to seal all around.
