Ingredients 

Crust

  • 1 Pre-baked pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 ½ cups Orange juice
  • ½ cup Water
  • 3 Egg yolks beaten
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest

Meringue

  • 3 Egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon Cream of tartar
  • 6 tablespoon Sugar

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in orange juice and water until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil for 1 minute.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks, then return all to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and orange zest. Pour hot filling into crust.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing edges to crust.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
