Orange Curd
LIME, LEMON AND ORANGE CURD RECIPES
I have made Lemon Curd on many occasions but I decided to try Oranges.I have used it to fill cupcakes. The photos show the process of making the Orange Curd which is really very easy.
Ingredients
3oz--75gm--1/3 cup caster sugar(fine sugar)
1 large orange, grate the rind off and squeeze out the juice
2 large eggs
2oz--50gm--1/4 cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces
Method
Find a bowl which will fit over a pan.
Put some water in the pan and start to simmer.
Put the sugar and lime rind into this bowl
In another bowl whisk or beat together the lime juice and the 2 eggs
Add this to the sugar and lime rind, place this bowl over the top of the simmering water, do not heat to high as the eggs will separate
Add the chopped butter
The butter will melt and stir frequently
It will take about 20 minutes to thicken
Warm 2 jars
Store in jars or use as a cupcake filling
The recipe for lemon, lime and grapefruit curd is just the same, but you substitute lemon, lime and grapefruit for the orange.

how long does the curd last if i may ask? do you sterlize and store or does it have a limited shelf life?
i love you recipes btw!
Hi Ali
Curd has a limited shelf life it is not like a jam. Keep it in the fridge and use within about 5 days. It is so easy to do that making it fresh is no probs. Try lime and orange they are so good. I read recently that fresh pineapple is good and the juice from fresh stewed blackcurrants.
Let me know how you get on.
thanks for coming by
