Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Combine the orange juice, orange zest, sugar, and eggs in a medium saucepan. Whisk together until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon—this should take about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar or bowl to remove any zest or egg bits.
- Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set for a few hours.
Notes
Strain your mixture for a silky smooth curd and always use fresh juice for the best flavor.
