Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar

Juice of 1 orange, about 1/2 cup

5 eggs

2 1/2 (14-ounce) cans condensed milk

1 1/2 (12-ounce) cans evaporated milk

1 3/4 cups milk

1 tablespoon amaretto

1 tablespoon vanilla

garnish: toasted pecans, dried cranberries, whipped cream or an optional strawberry sauce

Directions

In a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the sugar with the orange juice and one-fourth cup water.

Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Continue to cook until the sugar caramelizes and turns an amber color, then remove from the heat and immediately pour into a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish and allow to cool to room temperature.

Heat the oven to 300 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then whisk in the condensed, evaporated and regular milks.

Whisk in the amaretto and vanilla, and then pour the flan base into

the baking dish.

Place the dish inside a large roasting pan (the roasting

pan must be big enough so that there is a 1-inch clearance on all sides) and fill it with enough hot water so that it comes halfway up the side of the glass baking dish.

Place the pan in the oven and cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until a knife inserted near the center of the flan comes out clean.

Remove the flan from the water bath and allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator, loosely covered, to chill until cold, preferably overnight.

Invert onto a platter and serve immediately

Garnish with cranberries, pecans and whipped cream OR

Serve with an optional strawberry sauce or any fruit topping
