Orange Meringue Pie

For this Sunday Supper we are celebrating pies! Shortcrust, puff pastry, two-crust, one-crust, crumb crusts, with all sorts of fillings from fruit or nuts, to cheese or meat. Or make vegetables the star! Break out your fancy crimping and lattice skills or make a rustic pie. Baked or non-baked, it’s all good in the pie hood!

I didn’t grow up around homemade pies cooling on windowsills. The air at our house wasn’t permeated with Apple Pies baking. We were a cake and cookie household with the occasional exception of a Funny Cake (cake baked in a pie shell).

It wasn’t until I starting cooking school that I fell in love with pies! Lemon Meringue, Chocolate Cream and Cherry pies became my new loves!

Tender, flaky crusts cradling delicious fillings.

Sweet pies like Mile High Strawberry Pie , Sour Cherry Pie, Blueberry Cream Pie with Almond Meringue , and
Mud Pies .

There is plenty of room in my heart for savory pies too!
Not Your Mother’s Shepherd’s Pie , Beef Butternut Potato Pie , Zesty Tomato Pie , Beef and Cheddar Quiche .

Today I took a shot at an Orange Meringue Pie. Deep orange flavor kissed with tangy Meyer Lemons.

Look at that orange curd color!

Light, fluffy meringue sits perfectly on top.

If you love traditional Lemon Meringue you’ll go crazy for this pie! Sweet and sour never tasted better. Don’t take my word for it. Try one yourself and let me know if it makes your keepers list!

• Pour into baked pie shell.
Prepare meringue
• Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until fluffy.
• gradually beat in sugar a tablespoon at a time.
• Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
• Top hot pie curd with dollops of meringue. Be careful to cover up all the curd right up to the crust rim to avoid weeping.
• Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle top with teaspoon zest. Cool completely on rack before refrigerating.
