Fresh Orange Pie

I love the fresh strawberry and blue berry pies, in which the fresh fruit is enfolded in a glistening glaze. would any other fruit work in this same way, i wondered. then i found not one, but two, such pies with unusual fruit. one is a fresh pineapple pie (posted) and the other is this one in which fresh orange segments rest in a luscious glaze and just invite you to give it a try.
