  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1-1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp plus 1-1/2 tsp cold water
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • filling:
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 7 drops yellow food coloring, optional

Directions:

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the egg whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar. Heat over low heat while beating with a portable mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down sides of pan. Continue beating until mixture reaches 160°. Remove from the heat.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool for 1 minute. Whisk into egg white mixture; add vanilla and salt. Beat on high until stiff peaks form. Set meringue aside.
  3. For filling, in a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the grapefruit juice, water, orange juice and lemon juice until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and egg white; gradually stir 1/2 cup hot filling into egg mixture; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in grapefruit peel and food coloring if desired. Pour hot filling into crust.
  5. Spread meringue evenly over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Broil for 30-60 seconds or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.
