The recipe, Lemon Meringue Pie with Extra Flaky Lard and Butter Pie Crust, is a creation of Coast Corporate Chef Greg Hozinsky. Drawing on more than 20 years in the culinary field, Hozinsky has worked in everything from Michelin star restaurants to fast casual.
“In preparing our Pi Day pie, we started with the right ingredients,” Hozinsky said.“Lard possesses the authenticity and the flavor that people love, and that's reflected in the crust that we've enabled people to create. Our recipe walks bakers through all the steps, from the lemon curd filling to the meringue topping to the finishing touches. We're delighted to offer this Pi Day classic to kick off a new Coast Packing tradition.”

Gustafson, CEO of Coast Packing.“We like to say that you can really taste the difference when using lard and tallow, and Coast's new Recipe Series will give consumers a fresh opportunity to sample for themselves.”
