  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter or margarine

  1. Combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt in top of a nonaluminum double boiler. Gradually add orange juice, water, lemon juice, and egg yolks; stir until smooth. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in orange rind, butter, and food coloring, mixing well. Spoon filling into prepared tart shells.

Spread 1 tablespoon meringue over each tart, sealing to edge of pastry. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool tarts to room temperature; chill.
