Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup cornstarch
1 pinch salt
1 cup orange juice
½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water
4 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
½ cup diced orange segments
½ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line pastry with aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; bake about 5 minutes more.
  • In a small saucepan, stir together the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the orange juice, lemon juice, and water. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and orange zest. If desired; stir in diced orange segments. Pour into prepared pie crust, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to cool.
  • When pie filling has cooled to room temperature, preheat oven and prepare meringue. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread over pie, making sure the meringue completely covers the filling and meets the edges of the pie crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until meringue topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue, but I loved the meringue on this pie. It was light and fluffy, and it didn't overpower the orange filling.

This pie is a bit tart, but I like that. It's a nice change from the overly sweet pies that are so common.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I also like to add a little bit of lemon zest to the filling for extra flavor.
