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.
