c
orange juice 1
tb
orange liqueur 1/4
c

Directions:
Cut the unpeeled orange into thin slices and place them in a saucepan.
Pour the orange juice, liqueur, and sugar over the oranges. Bring the
liquid to the boiling point, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20
minutes.
Lift the orange slices out of the syrup and put them in a sieve that
is suspended over a bowl. Allow the slices to drain for at least 15
minutes.
With a whisk, beat the egg in a heavy saucepan. Sprinkle on the
cornstarch, a tablespoon at a time, and beat well until the egg and
cornstarch are smoothly blended. Add the salt, then pour in the
cooking syrup in a thin stream while beating with the whisk. Add the
drained syrup from the orange slices. Place the pan over medium heat and
stir with the whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Do not
allow the sauce to boil. Cool a little.
Spread the filling in the bottom of the pie shell. Smooth the surface
with a rubber spatula and decorate with the orange slices arranged in an
overlapping ring. Chill.
