In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, half and half, and orange zest and bring to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Remove from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and thickened. Whisking all the time, pour in the hot cream mixture. Whisk until well combined and then stir in the citrus juices and vanilla. Strain into a large, flat container and chill until cold. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers
instructions. Store in the freezer for up to 2 days, if desired.
