-
Wash the oranges if they are waxed (most supermarket fruit is)
-
Cut your oranges in half and remove the juice from the oranges
-
Use the grater to grate the zest of the oranges
-
Separate the eggs and the yolk. Make sure you get rid of all the egg whites and store them in the fridge to use for something else
-
Weigh out and cube your butter and return it to the fridge to keep cool
-
Mix the eggs and the sugar together well
-
Mix in the orange juice, peel, making sure you have removed all the pips
-
Now add your butter to your mixture
-
Now you can pop it on the hob in your Bain Marie or alternative. Make sure your water is hot so it heats your mixture. Stir until your butter has melted and your mixture thickens. You can test it by getting your mixture on the spoon and then running your finger down the spoon. If your curd stays where it is then it is ready to go into the jar
-
Sieve your curd into the jar and seal
-
Allow to cool down
