This is the most rich curd you will ever taste! The balance of sweet and tart is perfect. Prepare for lemony perfection... Ingredients:
5/8 cup lemon juice |
2 large oranges, zest of |
5 tablespoons butter, diced |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 -2 egg yolk (this will make the curd really thick, more like jam or butter than the usual custard texture) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Put the zest, butter, sugar and juice in a heatproof metal bowl.
2. Stand the bowl over a pan of boiling water and heat until the sugar and butter have melted.
3. Lower the heat, you don’t want the water to boil now - more like a simmer.
4. Whisk in the beaten eggs (and yolks if using), just in a small stream, really slowly.
5. Stir with a wooden spoon until thickened, about 25-30 minutes.
6. Store in the fridge.
7. Enjoy!
