4	Pour into the prepared pie shell and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until just set.
5	Remove from the oven and turn the heat to 450°F.
6	To make the meringue, combine the egg whites and sugar in a metal bowl.
7	Set in a pan of simmering water (or place the pan directly over lowest heat if desired) and stir for a minute or two ++ your clean index finger is t;he best tool for stirring ++until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm.
8	Remove from heat, add the cream of tartar and salt, and beat until the meringue stand in soft peaks.
9	Spread over the pie and return to the oven for about 5 minutes, until golden.
