1 Cup Orange Juice
1 Cup Orange Sections, cut in pieces

_____________________________________________________________________________
Combine Orange sections, grated rind, sugar and cornstarch. Cook on low heat until clear. Add a little hot mixture to beaten egg yolks. Return to hot mixture and cook about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Blend in Lemon juice, butter or margarine. Pour into baked pie shell. Be sure filling and shell are both hot or both cold. Cover filling with meringue. Bake in 350 degree oven until lightly browned.
Meringue: Beat egg whites with a dash of salt until just stiff, not dry. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons of sugar, beating after each addition until mixture stands in peaks. Cover pie and bake as directed.
