I just finished making Rose’s Lemon meringue pie from the pie and pastry bible.  She says it can be stored 1 day at room temperature or 3 days refridgerated.

It is now almost 1:00pm and we will probably be eating it around 6:00pm tomorrow.  It will be a few hours over 24 hours.  Do you think it will be fine at room temperature until then or should I put it in the fridge and take it out tomorrow at let it come to room temperature?

Liza, I’ve never made the lemon meringue pie, but I’ve made the cake (from RHC). Since it’s more than 1 day, I think you should refrigerate it. It should be okay refrigerated - the meringue will stay (won’t disintegrate).
Are you going to take pictures?

Thanks Jenn.  I will take some pictures and post them later.  I have to try and get a slice picture.  I haven’t been able to do that yet since we are eating it tomorrow.  I wonder if my in-laws would mind a piece missing from their pie tomorrow.    Alright, I’ll wait until tomorrow.  Hopefully I won’t forget to take one.  I always forget.

I’m at work right now, so I will get my husband to put the pie in the fridge when he gets home.  I’m alittle worried though, I saw a few droplets ontop of the meringue before I left for work.

Someone mentioned a silica gel packet once, and I thought it was a great idea.  Maybe you could tape one to the top of your dome?  I don’t know if it would have an adverse drying effect in certain cases, so disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer…

Very interesting idea Anne.  I just might try it.  As long as it doesn’t touch the pie, it should be safe.
