Jean++your note about the clear lemon meringue pie rang a bell as did
the reference to the red and white checked cook book so I dug out my
grandmothers cook book and found two recipes that may be what you
want.

The book is the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, revised
edition, fifth printing, 1962.
