During the 18th century, oranges were an expensive luxury that were enjoyed by the rich. Many recipes were developed to make the most of this rare delicacy and this orange-flavoured custard has its origins in the port city of Dundee, also famous for its orange marmalade.
Juice the oranges then place the freshly-squeezed juice and the sugar in a pan. Heat gently, stirring all the while, until the sugar dissolves then increase the heat to medium and continue heating until the mixture is hot. Skim any scum off the surface then take the pan off the heat and set aside until almost cold.
Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks until pale and creamy before whisking in the double cream. Stir the egg and cream mixture into the orange mixture and stir to combine before returning the pan to the heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the custard thickens. Serve in small glass dishes garnished with a twist of orange zest.
