Very good.

Tried this for my Dad, who loves orange. However while it did have good flavour, the orange peel ruined the texture for me.

This recipe is excellent...with a couple adjustments. I found that 1 tablespoon of butter is enough, and I cut down the sugar to 1/4 cup and then the sweetness was perfect for me. The orange flavor is wonderful in this custard and the recipe is a keeper!
