Ingredients
- 3 blood oranges zest and juice
- 2 egg yolk
- 1 egg whole
- ¼ cup granulated sugar or caster sugar, superfine
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
Instructions
- Place the zest and juice of the blood oranges in a small saucepan, along with the sugar, egg yolks and 1 whole egg. Over a medium heat, cook while whisking continuously until the sugar dissolves.
- Continue cooking while whisking for 15 minutes as the mixture thickens. You are looking for this to be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Once thickened, remove from the heat and add the butter. Whisk until this has melted and the curd is smooth.
- Strain through a sieve to remove the zest and allow the curd to cool before serving.
