Granny’s Quick Blood Orange Curd with Power Blender option
Report
Granny’s Quick Blood Orange Curd is made in 5 minutes and doesn’t involve sieving, double boilers or endless stirring unlike most recipes. I don’t think you can beat my granny’s recipe for taste or speed! Power Blender instructions also included!

Instructions
- Remove the wax from the oranges by placing them in a sieve and pouring over boiling water. Then use a potato scrubber and scrub under running water. Then dry.
- Zest and juice the oranges (mine yielded 100 ml).
- Place the caster sugar, unsalted butter, juice and zest in a pan over a low heat.
- Stir until the sugar has dissolved and butter melted.
- Whisk in the beaten egg over a medium heat and bring to the boil.
- Boil for one minute, whisking continuously or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon (it will thicken further on cooling).
- Pot up into hot sterilised jar/s (see notes).
- Makes about 300 ml of curd.
- Store in the fridge where it will keep for a few weeks.
Notes
- Sterilise jars by washing in hot soapy water (or take straight from dishwasher), fill with boiling water, empty and then place in oven for 20 minutes at 140°C where you leave them until the curd is ready. Washed lids should be sterilised with boiling water and then left to drain.
- To make in a Power Blender put the orange juice, eggs, orange zest and caster sugar into the Power Blender in that order. Then gradually turn the speed up to maximum and blend for 5 minutes (it will heat up in this time). Turn the speed back down to 6 and gradually add the cubed butter. Then blend for a further 30 seconds and pot up as above.`
