   Prick with a fork and bake at 400F for 10 minutes.
   For filling, sift sugar and flour together and add
   rhubarb. Cook slowly until mixture thickens, stirring
   constantly. Stir in egg yolk and cook 1 minute longer.
   Remove from heat and add orange juice, rind and
   butter. Cool and pour into baked pastry shell.
   Meringue: beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar by
   the tablespoon, beating until stiff. Add vanilla.
   Spread meringue over the pie and return to 350F oven
   for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
