Best Ever Citrus Curd – Choose Your Favorite!

I spent last weekend getting my curd on and buying all the citrus I could find…

A curd is so versatile and delicious.

If you’ve never tried it before, it’s basically a thick sweet and tangy spread that can be used in just about any dessert or baked breakfast item.

Remember my passion fruit thumbprint cookie recipe? I made a passion fruit curd to fill my cookies.

In a classic English tea, they serve a delicious lemon curd on top a scone with clotted cream.

It’s tangy, sweet and super aromatic.

My brother and sister in law came over and did a tasting of all the curds. Their favorite came out to be the lime and then the grapefruit.

My personal favorite was the orange one since it has a tangy but floral taste.

Obviously, you don’t have to make all five, just pick your favorite citrus and follow the recipe below.

The method is super easy, I made all 5 in less than an hour.

Double or triple the recipe quantities if you’d like.

Combine it with a sponge cake and whipped cream and you’ll have the best tasting birthday cake.

In a saucepan combine your whisked eggs, yolks, citrus juice, sugar, salt, and zest. Cook while stirring for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture turns thick and bubbly.

Next, remove from heat and stir in the butter until it completely melts.

Finally, strain the mixture to remove the zest and any bits of cooked egg

At this point, the curd just needs to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.

It’s recommended to place a plastic wrap directly on the curd to prevent a skin from forming.

See how easy that was? 5 steps and you’re done.

Which of the 5 would be your favorite one?
