Start by boiling water to soak orange peel. Cook berries in a single layer on the bottom of the sauce pan until mushy. Add sugar, drain orange peal water and mix with arrowroot when cooled to dissolve, add the blueberries and stir until set a few minutes.

Puree the egg yolks and softened rind in a food processor, add egg and rind mixture with flour and sugar to sour cream and cook together over a low flame.
