Orange curd - microwave
For lemon curd, replace the oranges with four large lemons.
What you need
- 3 medium oranges
- 175 g butter, cut into pieces
- 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and shelled
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 275 g caster sugar
Method
Carefully grate the rind from the oranges and reserve it. Heat the oranges for 1 min in the microwave on 100% (FULL) power. Squeeze out the juice.
Melt the butter for 2-3 min in a covered bowl. Mix the reserved orange rind and juice together with the eggs, and beat into the melted butter.
Cook, uncovered, on 100% (FULL) power for 6-7 min, stirring every minute, until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon.
Pour the mixture into warm jars, seal and label. Keep chilled and use within one month.
