Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup sugar or 65g/2.3oz
- ¼ cup yuzu juice or 60ml/2fl oz
- pinch salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter or 40g/1.4oz
Instructions
- Break eggs into a small bowl then strain through a sieve into a heatproof glass bowl to remove lumpy bits from the eggs.
- Add yuzu juice, sugar, a pinch of salt and yuzu zest to the heatproof glass bowl and whisk together until well combined.
- Set the heatproof glass bowl over a pot of simmering water.
- Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Transfer the curd to sterilized jars or containers and place a sheet of plastic wrap over the yuzu curd touching directly. This step prevents a skin from forming on top.
- Let it cool to room temperature.
- Put the yuzu curd in the fridge for at least 2 hours, as it will continue to thicken as it cools.
