Citrus is easy

So the next entry in The Fruit CAME: Clementine.

Since these are all basically the same recipe, the post for each will really only be what I changed, as well as some reactions to the pies.

To turn the Lemon Meringue into Clementine Meringue, I substituted some clementine juice for the lemon juice and orange zest for the lemon zest. Clementines are significantly more difficult to squeeze. After two or three I devised a way to squish each half of a clementine against the flat of my widest knife that worked pretty well. Clementine zest, on the other hand, is pretty much impossible to come by. Instead, I went with an orange. That worked out well.

In my opinion, this pie was a little too sweet. The tartness of the lemon curd is just about my favorite thing ever. But don't write it off based only on my opinion; Marty at Ian's says this is his favorite pie out of all those I've brought in. Everyone who tried it liked it. It was definitely worth the experiment.
