Ingredients:

1.5 cups

Sugar

8

Eggs

1 tsp

Vanilla

1 tsp

Salt

1 tbsp

Amaretto

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees

2

To make the caramel, heat the sugar in a medium sized skillet over medium heat

3

When the sugar begins to melt, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the sugar has melted and browned

4

Spoon or pour the caramel over the bottom of a 3 quart oval baking dish and tilt the dish so that caramel spreads evenly around the sides

5

The caramel hardens as it cools, so work quickly

6

In a bowl whip the eggs gently until smooth and then add the condensed milk, fresh milk, vanilla, almond extract, salt and Amaretto, and whisk until smooth

7

Strain the mixture through a sieve in the caramel-coated baking dish

8

Set the mold in a larger pan of warm water

9

The water must reach half the depth of the mold

10

Cover the flan loosely with foil to prevent it from overbrowning

11

Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the center feels just firm when pressed

12

Remove from the water bath and allow to cool

13

Chill in the refrigerator until serving

14

Unmold by placing a large decorative platter over the mold, and using both hands, flip the mold over onto the platter

15

Remove the mold and decorate the flan with orange sections and strawberries
