Step 1:
How to make orange curd? Measure out all the necessary ingredients. Wash the orange well and wipe it off. To make the zest more fragrant, you can pour boiling water over it. Squeeze out the juice from the orange, and grate the zest on a fine grater.
Step 2:
In a saucepan, mix the raw egg yolks, sugar, orange zest and orange juice.
Step 3:
Over low heat with constant stirring, bring the resulting mixture to a thickening and immediately remove from the heat.
Step 4:
Let the cream cool down a little and add diced butter to it. Stir until smooth.
Step 5:
Cover the kurd with cling film without gaps and cool completely at room temperature. Store the cooled kurd in a closed jar in the refrigerator and use it for its intended purpose.

I cooked this kurd as a filling for baskets . Baskets with this cream are much tastier than with ordinary jam or jam. It can be spread on warm, lightly browned toast and served with hot coffee or tea. It turns out super tasty!

Last year I cooked lemon curd for a cake. It's time to experiment with oranges. In general, Kurd can be prepared on the basis of any fruits and berries, but citrus Kurds are especially popular. To my taste, the orange curd turned out to be even more interesting than lemon. It can simply be spread on toast, used as a layer for cakes, pastries and pasta.

Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Important: This recipe only needs freshly squeezed orange juice! Do not take concentrated, purchased, from packages. The sweeter and brighter the oranges, the better. The ideal choice is bright, large fruits of a rich orange color.
