This is from old handwritten cookbook (journal).
Combine all ingredients except the eggs in the top of a double
boiler. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until smooth. Beat the egg yolks
slightly and dilute gradually with some of the hot mixture. When eggs
are thoroughly diluted and all danger of curdling is past, add them
to the double boiler mixture, and cook and stir for about 5 minutes
more. Cool the custard, then pour into baked pie shell. Top with
fresh or canned orange segments. (If fresh be sure to remove all
membrane from oranges.) Cover with a meringue made of the beaten egg
whites, a pinch of salt and 6 tb of sugar. Beat until stiff peaks.
Bake in preheated oven 375°F for 8-10 minutes or until Meringue is
delicately brown.
