orange meringue pie
My late husband loved this. Do not use store-bought juice. Should only use fresh-squeezed.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Easy to make, this is a refreshing meringue pie for spring or summer. It's a delicious twist on a citrus meringue pie. The orange flavor is sweet and refreshing. Thick and creamy, the filling is a nice contrast to the light and fluffy meringue. So yummy!
