DP who also made it - I was underwhelmed. Too much work for what it was.

Not OP. I made it and thought it was great! I used the finely grated zest of an orange in the curd. I also sieved it a second time after cooking the custard, to make sure it was really silky, didn’t want any of the chalaza in there.
I swapped the hazelnuts for almond meal, and the rice flour in the recipe for a gluten free blend of flours and a bit of ça than gum. It was good! Next time I might add an egg to the crust.

Me too!

How did this turn out OP? Looks good, especially the crust.

Lol at Turd Cart, my DH had the same thought.

It turned out well. I think leaving out the peel must be the intention of the recipe. As I noted before I ended up blending in maybe a 3rd of the peel. I did have to sieve out some bits of peel that the immersion blender didn't entirely puree. It tasted fine (not bitter) but definitely a strong orange flavor along with the cranberry, of course. Beautiful color. I can't speak to the crust because I ended up going with an alternative hazelnut crust recipe because I didn't have rice flour. I'd make it again. -OP
