I make my pie the normal way, brown the tops of the meringue and put it in the fridge. When we go to eat it, it has water on the top around the meringue. What am I doing wrong?

Not positive but I believe the pie was still hot or warm when you put it in the frig. It has to be completely cold. My other guess would be that it was covered (tin foil/plastic wrap) that can also cause the water on top. Hope this helps.

There are all sorts of tips in recipe books on how to avoid that common, irritating problem. But none of them work once you refrigerate the pie. So if you're serving it to guests and actually care about the weeping meringue, you can refrigerate the pie and do the meringue at the last minute. Or you can leave the finished pie at room temperature until serving time.. but not for more than about an hour.

The real question is: What type of meringue did you make?
