INSTRUCTIONS

For the custard: Using a vegetable peeler, cut colored part of  oranges
in wide strips. Combine milk, half-and-half and sugar in  medium
saucepan. Cut vanilla bean in half and scrape seeds into milk;  add
bean. Simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add orange peel,  remove
from heat and let stand for 30    minutes.  Strain mixture into medium
bowl and cool to lukewarm. Whisk eggs and  yolks in large bowl.
Gradually whisk milk mixture into eggs. Chill  until cold.  For the
caramel: Mix the sugar, water and lemon juice in heavy  saucepan. Stir
over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a  boil without
stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally  swirling pan and
brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, 6 to 10  minutes. Add 3
tablespoons water (mix will bubble). Stir over low  heat until hard
bits dissolve.  Pour immediately into a 6-cup souffle dish. Swirl to
coat bottom and  1/2 up the sides. Preheat oven to 350F.  Whisk
custard; pour into caremel-coated dish. Place in large baking  pan,
filled with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of the  dish.
Cover pan completely with foil, sealing at edges. Bake until  center 3
inches of custard moves only slightly when shaken, about 1  hour.
Remove from water and chill.  Cut pith off oranges and release
segments. Run a thin knife around  sides of custard and turn onto a
platter with a lip. Garnish with  orange slices and candied orange peel
if desired.  Recipe Contest Winners from the 1997 Orange Blossom
