Here's one of my favorite recipes for Flan. It has a slight citrus flavor
to it and will make 68 people very happy :) from Mexican Cookery by
Barbara Hansen

Peel orange and lime into thin strips with as little white pith as
possible. (the rest of the fruit will not be used in this recipe)

Combine peel, milk, Three fourths cup sugar and salt in a large pan. Bring it to a
boil and cook gently until it is reduced to 3 cups. (stir occasionally to
break the film that forms on the surface) When done, strain and cool
slightly.

In the meantime, heat Three fourths cup sugar in a skillet over medium heat until
sugar begins to melt. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring
occasionally. When sugar is melted and brown, immediately spoon over
bottom and sides of a shallow 1One half quart baking dish and cool.

Begin preheating oven to 325 F. Beat eggs into a large bowl. Gradually
add warm milk mixture to eggs and beat well. Then, pour the mixture into
the baking dish containing the caramelized sugar.

Place the baking dish into a pan and pour water into the pan until it
reaches half way up the sides of the baking dish. Bake about 1One half hours
or until a knife inserted offcenter comes out clean. If necessary, cover
loosely with foil to prevent excess browning.

Remove dish from hot water and cool. Then refrigerate for at least 3
hours. Run a knife around the edge and invert onto a platter just before
serving.
