1 Prebaked pie shell
1 c Orange juice
1 c Orange sections; cut in pcs
2 tb Orange rind; grate
1 c Sugar
5 tb Cornstarch
3 Eggs; separate
2 tb Lemon juice
2 tb Butter

Preheat oven to 350~. Combine orange juice, sections, rind, sugar and
cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring
occasionally,
until clear. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl and add a little of the
hot
mixture, stirring quickly to prevent eggs from cooking. Whisk warm egg
mixture into hot mixture and cook, stirring continuously, for about 5
minutes. Remove from heat and blend in lemon juice and butter. Set
aside.
In medium bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks
form;
then add 1-1/2 tb of sugar and mix until blended in. Pour warm orange
filling into warm pie shell. Spoon sweetened egg whites on top of
filling
and bake at 350~ until meringue is lightly browned. Source: The
