Edwards Mansion Fresh Orange Pie Recipe

Crust:

1 cup pecan crumbs (crush in blender)

1 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup soft butter

1/4 cup sugar

Combine all ingredients and press on bottom and sides of a 10" pie plate. Save a small amount of the crumbs for garnish. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Orange Pie Filling:

4 tbsp cornstarch

1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice

1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup orange marmalade

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

6 large oranges, peeled and sectioned (Navel oranges are best, but Valencias may be used. Be sure all membrane and seeds are removed.)

Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup orange juice. In saucepan, mix remaining orange juice, sugar, marmalade, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg. Heat and while constantly stirring, add orange juice/cornstarch mixture. Continue to cook until mixture is thick and clear. Add orange sections and mix gently. Pour into cooled pie crust. Chill 3-4 hours. Serve at room temperature, garnish with sweetened whipped cream and remaining crust crumbs.

Enjoy!
