Instructions
In a small skillet, combine sugar and orange juice; cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes or until mixture is golden brown, stirring occasionally. Quickly pour into six ungreased 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups, tilting to coat bottom of dish.
Let stand for 10 minutes.
For custard, in a small saucepan, heat milk until bubbles form around sides of saucepan.
Remove from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and salt. Stir half of the warm milk into egg mixture; return all to pan and mix well. Stir in orange peel and extract. Slowly pour into prepared ramekins.
Place ramekins in a baking pan. Fill pan with boiling water to a depth of 3/4 in.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until centers are just set (mixture will jiggle).
Remove ramekins from water bath; cool for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Carefully, run a knife around edge of dishes to loosen; invert each dish onto a rimmed serving dish.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Tempranillo, Moscato Dasti, Grenache, Albarino
Creme Caramel on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Port, and Tempranillo. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
