Recipe - Great Aunt Hesters Orange Pie

Unbaked lower crust
2 tablespoon Butter
1 cup Sugar
4 Slightly beaten eggs
1 ds Salt
Grated rind of 1 orange
2 Oranges ; juice of
1 cup Cream; whipped

I found this recipe in "America Cooks", a book published in 1940 and this
is just how it was printed:

(Found in a diary dated 1801)

Into an unbaked lower crust pour the following mixture: cream 2 tablespoons
butter with 1 cup sugar. Add 4 slightly beaten eggs and a dash of salt,
grated rind of 1 orange, and juice of 2 oranges. (The size of eggs and
oranges doesn't seem to make any difference.). When well mixed, fold in 1
cup cream, whipped. Bake 25 minutes in medium oven. Test with knife, a'la
custard.
