Orange Grove Pie Filling (I serve this like a pudding, with whipped
cream on
top)

5 egg yolks
1/2 C. sugar
2 T. lemon juice
3 T. grated orange rind
1/8 tsp. salt
2 C. whipping cream, whipped
5 oranges

Beat yolks slightly and add 1/2 C. sugar, lemon juice, grated orange
rind and
salt. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly until thick, about
10
minutes. Fold in 2 oranges which have been cut into pieces and
thorougly
drained. Cool and fold in half the whipped cream. Chill 12 hours or
longer.
Serve with whipped cream and orange pieces.

(This is a pie recipe - if making a pie, put a layer of whipped cream
in the
bottom of a meringue pie shell; pour the orange filling on top and then
top
with the rest of the whipped cream.)
**************

Lemon curd: In top of double boiler, beat 4 egg yolks until thick and
lemon-colored. Gradually beat in 1/2 C. sugar, dash salt, 1 T. grated
lemon peel, and 3 T. lemon juice. Cook and stir over hot water until
thick, about 5 minutes. Pour into bowl to cool, covering surface with
plastic wrap.

Whip 2 C. whipping cream to stiff peaks, adding 3 T. of powdered sugar
as you whip. Add half of the cream to the cooled lemon curd, folding
it in gently. Use the remaining whipped cream to garnish the tops of
individual servings.
