I don't put any sweetner into the lemon layer as I like it quite tart, can add sweetner to taste.
The meringue could be made with sweetner instead of sugar and would then be syn free but I HATE the taste of sweetner and if you are having a treat it sould be just that!

Note- meringue made with sweetner will not go crisp.
