Meanwhile heat the oven to 350 degree friend. Grease an 8 inch square baking dish. In a large bowl combine the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, grated peels, vanilla, and salt beating until well blended.

Place the baking dish in the oven in a larger baking pan filled with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes until pudding is almost set, stirring once after 10 minutes and again 15 minutes later. Remove the baking dish from the larger pan and cool on a wire rack, cooling until cold. Refrigerate, covered, at least 3 hours or overnight until the pudding is firm. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
