Add 1/2 cup of sugar, salt, and softened gelatin. Mix well. Stir in orange juice and rind. Chill until mixture is completely cooled and begins to thicken. Beat egg whites until they stand in soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar and beat until soft.
Fold meringue into cranberry mixture. Spoon into baked pie shell. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish with whipped cream, orange rind, and cranberries, if desired. Makes 8 servings |
