  Categories: Pies, Ceideburg 2
       Yield: 1 servings
  
      14 oz Can sweetened condensed milk
       4    Eggs, separated
     1/2 c  Orange juice
       2 tb Orange liqueur
       1    9-inch pie shell, baked
     1/2 c  Sugar
     1/2 ts Cream of tartar
         pn Of salt
  
   This custard pie is similar in style to key lime pie,
   but flavored with orange and topped with meringue
   rather than whipped cream ++ to use up the egg whites
   that otherwise go to waste.
   
   Preheat the oven to 350F.  To make the filling, stir
   together the milk, egg yolks, orange juice and orange
   liqueur.  Pour into the prepared pie shell and bake
   for 15 to 20 minutes, until just set. Remove from the
   oven and turn the heat to 450F.
   
   To make the meringue, combine the egg whites and sugar
   in a metal bowl. Set in a pan of simmering water (or
   place the pan directly over lowest heat if desired)
   and stir for a minute or two ++ your clean index
   finger is t;he best tool for stirring ++until the
   sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm.  Remove
   from heat, add the cream of tartar and salt, and beat
   until the meringue stand in soft peaks. Spread over
   the pie and return to the oven for about 5 minutes,
   until golden.  Cool to room temperature.
