Earlier in the month I was reading Oh Yes I Can's blog entry on Lemon Curd- found here. I almost forgot to make this month's challenge for Tigress's Can Jam...that would be bad to miss the first month.
So this morning I decided to make it but I had no lemons *insert sad face* . But I had oranges and orange juice *insert happy face* so with a few changes, I made orange curd- which was very yummy indead-especially since we had leftover scones from breakfast yesterday morning.
So the recipe I used is as follows
Orange Curd
3 large eggs
1/3 c orange juice
3/4c sugar
1TBS orange zest ( I used 2 oranges)
4 TBS unsalted butter ( I used salted because that's all I had)
Sterilize 3 4oz jelly jars and lids.
Mix eggs- oj and sugar together in a double boiler over simmering water
stirring constantly until thickened- 6-10 minutes. Remove from heat and add zest and butter. Stir until butter is melted. I didn't strain it as I wanted to keep the pretty pieces of zest.
Pour into 3 4oz jelly jars- process 15 minutes -
What didn't fit in the jars was enjoyed with the leftover scones

I've always meant to make lemon curd. I must get around to it, and then put some in a cake.
Oh my that does look quite delectable! Very nice job.

I love curd. Definitely have to try your recipe. Thanks for posting. My citrus post is here:http://ap269.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/tigress-can-jam-1-citrus-citrus-marmalade/
What a great idea.
I've only made lemon curd before, and orange curd sounds great!
Looks yummy! I can't wait to try it.
I'm going to have to try this. I have some orangecello that I really can't drink in the refrigerator. Thinking it might be a nice addition.
Thanks!
