I think the brand we have out here is "Comstock". Not sure if there's
another one or not because I've never looked seriously at the pie
fillings before. To be honest, I thought the only pie fillings were
apple, cherry and blueberry. Is the lemon pie filling any good? If
it is, how do you make meringue without tossing all those perfectly
good egg yolks. Do those packaged egg whites in a carton beat up
well?

Where do you get the sour cherry pie filling? I thought you had to go
to a farm or luck out at the farmer's market to get them.
