Soft Orange Custard, Cool and Citrusy!

Wanting to coordinate a light dessert with this blog's summer make-over, I searched the web for something cool, creamy, and full of citrus flavor.  I found it on Taste of Home's Web site in  their recipe for Soft Orange Custard.  Just follow the link to find the recipe.

Taste of Home's Soft Orange Custard!


I love custards.  They remind me of growing up.  My mom used to make something called Junkett Rennet Custard in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.  We loved it.  I used to make baked egg custards for my own children when they were young.  Custard pie, and coconut custard pie, rank right up there among desserts I MUST have if they are on the menu!  Custards also remind me of a stand that we'd stop at near the Catskill Game Farm where soft-serve was then "frozen custard."  It was always something when my Dad would go up to the window and order 9 cones!  A good 50-plus years later (yikes!), I still remember the cool, rich, creaminess of that frozen custard.  Most people probably remember family outings by location or event -- I remember the foods we ate (big shocker!)...

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it has good reviews, and the photo (from Taste of Home's site) is just soooo pretty!  I think that alone provides all the credibility necessary for my recommendation to you.  What a lovely dessert it would be for company, or just you!
