## Editor's Notes
- **"Orange and lemon juices"** referenced in instructions but only lemon juice (3 cups) appears in the ingredient list. Orange juice quantity absent from card; 2 cups fresh orange juice (approximately 6 oranges) inferred from recipe volume and citrus balance. The original Bon Appétit November 1990 source likely specified this quantity but it was not captured on the card. -
