NAVEL ORANGE MERINGUE PIE, FINALLY! 9 SEPTEMBER 2023
Today seemed low enough in humidity to attempt a meringue pie . . . So I did. Without taking pics, except for the result. I did use a frozen pie crust, however, the first of which I managed to mess up, because I 1) brushed it with egg white; and 2) used pie weights. When I lifted what I THOUGHT was parchment paper to take out the pie weights, the entire bottom of the pie crust came with it. So I made another one following the directions. The recipe was complicated in that there was a lot of prep work to be done before even beginning making the pie itself. This was the result . . . I think the pie in the stock photo used twice the amount of meringue, and was then baked on a lower shelf to get it that high. We liked the taste; in fact, I preferred it to LEMON MERINGUE PIE. I do think a pinch of salt would improve the flavor of the filling, so I added that to the recipe card. Oh, and if you're wond'rin' why this is specifically a NAVEL Orange Pie, here is a list of the various orange (and other) meringue pies I found online: BLOOD ORANGE [NO-BAKE] BLOOD ORANGE BLOOD ORANGE BUTTERSCOTCH BLOOD ORANGE-CHOCOLATE SOUR ORANGE ("FLORIDA'S BEST-KEPT SECRET") LEMON-ORANGE MEYER LEMON-ORANGE LEMON, ORANGE & GINGER APRICOT-ORANGE CHOCOLATE-ORANGE BOOZY CHOCOLATE-ORANGE DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE COFFEE CRANBERRY & ORANGE ORANGE CREAMSICLE GREEK ORANGE ORANGE WITH [OPTIONAL] GLUTEN-FREE LIME & WALNUT PASTRY SEVILLE ORANGE CHAI PEAR & ORANGE (GLUTEN-FREE, PALEO, VEGAN) ORANGE CURD CARA CARA ORANGE ORANGE MARMALADE & MERINGUE SATSUMA ORANGE ORANGE-LIME PLAQUEMINES PARISH [N'ORLEANS] ORANGE MANDARIN ORANGE COCONUT & ORANGE CARA MEYER (CARA CARA ORANGES & MEYER LEMONS) RHUBARB PINEAPPLE MANGO GRAPEFRUIT CRANBERRY RASPBERRY LIME KEY LIME CHOCOLATE COCONUT STRAWBERRY SWEET POTATO PIE WITH ORANGE PUMPKIN STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB BUTTERSCOTCH SUGAR-FREE LEMON SOUR CREAM LEMON DAIRY-FREE LEMON RAINBOW LEMON RASPBERRY-LEMON UPSIDE-DOWN LEMON LOW-FLUORIDE LEMON CHUNKY LEMON LEMON MYRTLE KOSHER LEMON HONEY LEMON LEMONGRASS POMEGRANATE PEACH STONE FRUIT SWEET-POTATO STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB CUSTARD PEANUT BUTTER IRISH APPLE AMBER RABARBRAKAKE (NORWEGIAN RHUBARB CAKE WITH MERINGUE) YUZU
