Ingredients

  •  blood oranges 
  • large egg yolks 
  • large eggs 
  • 1.7 cups heavy whipping cream 
  • 0.5 cup aromatic honey light such as orange blossom or clover
  •  lime zest 
  • slices candied meyer lemons drained quartered
  • cup milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • wire rack
  • ramekin
  • roasting pan
  • aluminum foil
  • spatula
  • measuring cup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 30
  2. Heat a teakettle to boiling.
  3. Heat milk, cream, and honey in a medium saucepan until simmering, stirring.
  4. Whisk eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl until well blended. Gradually whisk in hot cream. Strain into a glass measuring cup.
  5. Set 8 ramekins (4 oz. size) in a large roasting pan.
  6. Pour cream mixture into ramekins to about 1/2 in. from top. Set pan on oven rack and carefully pour boiling water into pan so it comes halfway up the ramekins. Cover pan with foil, turning up 2 corners so steam can escape.
  7. Bake until custards jiggle only slightly when pan is gently shaken, 45 to 50 minutes. With a spatula, carefully transfer custards to a cooling rack.
  8. Let cool, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
  9. Cut peel from oranges, then cut segments free from inner membranes. Pat dry and set some on each custard.
  10. Garnish each with a little lime zest and a piece of lemon, if you like.
  11. Make ahead: Through step 3 up to 2 days, chilled airtight.
