Time 35m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated mandarin-orange zest (from 9 oranges), plus 1 1/2 cups fresh juice (from 13 oranges)
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest (from 2 limes), plus 3/4 cup fresh juice (from 5 limes)
18 large egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 3/4 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, both zests, and egg yolks; whisk in citrus juices and salt. Add butter; place pan over medium-high and cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and bubbles form around edge of pan, about 11 minutes (do not let boil).
  • Remove pan from heat immediately. Pour curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass bowl. Press plastic wrap against surface of curd; refrigerate until cool. Transfer to 6 seven-ounce jars; curd can be refrigerated in jars up to 2 weeks.

This recipe is a waste of time. The curd never thickened, even after I cooked it for over an hour.

I followed the recipe exactly and the curd turned out really runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This curd is a bit too tart for my taste, but it's still pretty good. I think I'll add some more sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lime curd, but this recipe is really good. The mandarin oranges add a nice sweetness that balances out the tartness of the lime.

I love this curd! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually serve it with scones or toast, but it's also great on ice cream or yogurt.

This curd is amazing! It's so creamy and flavorful. I used it to fill a lemon meringue pie and it was a huge hit. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've tried many lime curd recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of mandarin oranges gives it a unique and refreshing flavor. I also love how easy it is to make. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

This Mandarin Orange Lime Curd is a delightful burst of citrus flavor! The curd is smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. I spread it on toast, waffles, and even used it as a filling for cupcakes. It's a versatile recipe that
