What is the reason for grating the lemon rind to make the pie filling?
Do you have to do that?
I have a whole bottle of lemon juice. I'd rather use that than buy some
lemons.

I would never even consider making a Lemon Meringue Pie without fresh lemons,
both for juice and zest. Bottled juice just isn't the same, and the rind
release essential oils that contribute greatly to the flavor. Not being
snobbish here, but I just like really good LMP.
