Directions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over 1 tablespoon water in small bowl.

  4. Add eggs; whisk until smooth.
  5. Whisk in both juices.

  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Add gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved. Strain orange mixture into blender; let cool until thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140°F, about 10 minutes.
  9. With blender running, add room-temperature butter 2 pieces at a time and process until blended. Continue blending 3 minutes longer.
