List of ingredients:

1/2 cup of tangerine juice.
1/4 cup of lemon juice.
2 tangerines, grated zest only.
1/4 lb of butter.
4 oz of sugar.
8 egg yolks.

Method:

In a saucepan, combine the fruit juices, zest, butter and sugar; bring to a boil over medium heat.

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until liquid.

Beat a quarter of the boiling liquid into the yolks and return the remaining liquid to a boil over low heat.
