Fresh Orange Curd Recipes

Steps:

• Combine yolks, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan; whisk to combine. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula (be sure to scrape sides of the pan), until the mixture is thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Let mixture come to a rapid simmer and cook, continually scraping sides of pan, for 2 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Add salt and butter, one piece at a time, stirring until smooth. If desired, strain through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled and very firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 1/2 weeks.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and cornstarch in a 3-quart saucepan; gradually whisk in juice. Whisk in lightly beaten eggs. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, 1-2 minutes or until mixture reaches a pudding like thickness.
• Remove from heat; whisk in butter and orange rind. Cover, placing plastic wrap directly on curd; chill 8 hours.
