Orange-Meringue Pie

This time we make a pie. Prepare a sweet pie crust. Dissolve a heaping tablespoonful of cornstarch in three tbsp of water. Pour it over a cup of boiling water and cook until the cornstarch becomes sticky and no more lumps form. Then, add a cup of sour orange juice (perhaps Seville oranges?), 1 tbsp of grated orange rind, juice from one lemon, and two eggs. Stir till mixture is smooth. Pour on prepare crust then bake at 300 F until set. Once set, remove pie from oven and cool for a little bit. Prepare the meringue from three egg whites beaten until stiff peaks form. Pour meringue on top of the pie and sprinkle with grated orange peel.
