1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cornstarch
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup grated fresh coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add grated coconut and vanilla. Cool before filling pie shell. Double your meringue recipe for sky-high effect.

2 egg whites

Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla or other flavoring.

Spoon meringue onto pie filling, spreading to crust edge to seal filling in.
