    Blood Orange Curd Made the Easy Way

    February 6, 2018 Filed Under: Condiments, Fruit, Sauces

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Blood Orange Curd is a creamy pink treat perfect for filling pies, cakes and a variety of other desserts. And it is so easy to make at home.

    Many curd recipes call for egg yolks only, but I stole a page from Ina Garten and used whole eggs. Not that separating eggs is hard, but one less step is always a bonus.

    You can make this with other citrus fruit, but you may want to increase the sugar a bit. Blood oranges are one of the sweetest oranges so I didn't need as much sugar as you would with lemon.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2-3 blood oranges
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 2 eggs

    Instructions
     

    • Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from 1 of the oranges, being careful to avoid the white pith. Juice the oranges to get approximately ½ cup juice.
    • Put the zest in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. And pulse to mince. 
    • Add the sugar and pulse again until the zest and sugar are mixed together.
    • Add the butter and pulse to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time
    • Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and stir in the blood orange juice. 
    • Cook over low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Remove from heat and cool or refrigerate.
