- Save two tablespoons of orange juice concentrate from the can for the meringue.

- Bring to a boil.

- Slowly stir the egg yolk mix into the boiling liquid. Bring to a boil again and cook 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and thick.
- Pour into the pie shell. Cool.
- Just before serving, make the meringue.
- Assemble a double boiler. Into the top, place: egg whites, the 2 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate that you saved, salt, and 1/3 cup sugar.
- Beat the egg white mixture at high speed over boiling water for 2 minutes. Then remove from heat and beat 2 or 3 minutes longer or until the mixture forms soft peaks.
- Spoon the Orange Blossom Meringue in mounds around the edge of the pie. Place in the oven under the broiler until the meringue is a deep golden brown, about 1 minute. Watch carefully so you don't burn it. Serve within an hour or two.
