A bright and silky orange curd that transforms toast, scones, or yogurt into something special.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 oranges
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine orange juice, sugar, butter, and zest in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  3. Add the warm orange mixture to the egg mixture gradually, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
  5. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar to remove any lumps.
  6. Let cool and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor and temper the eggs to avoid scrambling. Strain for a smooth texture.
