Blood Orange Pie?
Finally got blood oranges at our Whole Foods, and I decided that I should do something a little different. I want to try this, and probably make it a custard-type pie, like a key lime pie. Has anyone else ever done this? If so, have you had any obstacles?
Otherwise, do you think I can just sub out the Key lime juice and use the same recipe with blood orange? Is there a difference in juice consistencies or strengths that I need to be careful of? Is this just a silly idea?

go back to Delilah's Emergency Cheese Question. she has an absolutely delishious recipe for an orange pie, I used Tangelos in mine and it is decadent! I also used a standard graham cracker crust. I recomend her recipe highly!

An orange pie sounds delicious! You might want to check up on the amount of sugar you need (I imagine it'd be less). Limes are very sour and not eaten by themselves while oranges... well you know. Maybe you can add some lemon juice if you still want the tartness? Let us know how it turns out!

I have a recipe for a bruleed pink grapefruit custard pie on my blog. It was a hit.
