Instructions

  1. Add the cranberries, orange zest and juice, water, granulated and brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 8 minutes or until the cranberries pop and are soft.
  2. Pour the cranberry sauce into a food processor or blender and blend it until it’s smooth. Reserve a 1/2 cup of the sauce and add the remaining to a saucepan over medium-low heat. 
  3. In a small bowl whisk egg and egg yolks. Slowly pour in the reserved 1/2 cup of cranberry sauce in with the eggs whisking the entire time.
  4. Pour the cranberry egg mixture into the saucepan whisking it the entire time. Continue to whisk the cranberry orange curd until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat and remove the saucepan. Whisk in the butter and vanilla until the butter is melted and incorporated. Strain the curd into a sterile jar or jars and screw on the lid. Store the curd in the refrigerator for up to a week.
