LEMON CURD (STOVE TOP OR MICROWAVE METHOD) LIME OR ORANGE CURD



Lemon Curd (Stove Top or Microwave Method) Lime or Orange Curd image

A British tea time favorite. This is sweet and tart. Try it on scones, muffins, and tea breads or layer on Angel Food cake with Raspberries and recipe #54868! I've also microwaved this just watch and stir a lot. For orange or lime curd, substitute appropriate fruit rind and juice. Proceed as directed. FYI- When filling a cake with this be sure to pipe a rim of frosting on the edge of the first layer, then fill inside with the chilled lemon curd, place top layer then frost.

Easy to make and so many uses, I like to mix a few tablespoons with some rum and drizzle that over coconut ice cream. Not to forget it is a nice gift.

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 -5 limes
4 ounces butter, cut in chunks
8 ounces sugar

Steps:

  • Grate the zest very finely, take care that you don’t grate the white pith.
  • Squeeze the juice out of the fruit; you will need 150mL.
  • Put the rind (zest), butter, sugar and juice in a heatproof basin.
  • Stand this over a pan of boiling water and heat until the sugar and butter have melted.

  • Pour into hot jars, when cool label them.
  • Use this recipe also to make orange or lemon curd, just make sure you have 150mL juice Keep in the fridge.

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 oranges, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
16 long stem strawberries, for dipping

Steps:

  • Remove the zest from the oranges with a vegetable peeler, being careful to avoid the white pith. Put the zest in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is very finely minced.
  • Cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the sugar/orange zest mixture and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the orange juice and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a 2-quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. The orange curd will be ready when it coats a spoon, and it will register about 175 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Be careful not to overcook, or it will curdle. Remove from the heat and let cool or refrigerate.
  • Place the orange curd in a bowl and decoratively arrange the strawberries on a serving platter around the bowl.
