Okay, so this was a new one to me! Last night Charlie wanted me to make a pie. This is interesting because he's usually fussing at me because of the amount of sweets and baked goods we keep in the house! Unfortunately, I didn't have any filling for pies. So, Charlie suggested we use the tangerines we had in abundance. We googled it and I made pie! This pie sounds strange, but it's similar to a lemon meringue.
This was a great use of our tangerines. We had a ton! Charlie's mom gave us a ton of fruit from the Farmer's Market. I made apple pie with the apples, fresh squeezed juice with the oranges, and tangerine pie!
