Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 F. Place 8 6-ounce ramekins in a roasting
pan. Set aside. Zest 3 oranges and reserve zest. Squeeze
oranges for 1 cup juice. Strain.

In a medium saucepan, bring juice, water and 1¼ cups
sugar to a boil over medium heat and stir until sugar
dissolves, swirling gently until color turns deep amber.
Divide directly into ramekins. Set aside.

In another saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and
zest to a boil. Remove from heat. Rest 10 minutes.

In large bowl, whisk eggs, yolks and remaining sugar.
Stir together milk and egg mixture. Strain, then pour
equally among ramekins. Place in oven. Pour hot water
into the pan halfway up ramekins.

Bake 45–55 minutes until set. Lift ramekins onto cooling
rack. Run knife around edges to loosen. Cool completely.

Invert ramekins onto plates. Garnish with raspberries and
fresh mint.
