Mixed Citrus Curd image

This citrus curd is a great filling for all types of cakes. I love this one in a wedding cake that I make that uses poppy seeds, lemon, lime and orange zest in the batter. If you use a cream cheese frosting, it's just about perfect. You can also serve it with fresh British scones.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
3 large eggs
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
⅓ cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 pinches salt

Steps:

  • Place sugar, butter, eggs, juices, zests, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd starts to bubble and thicken, and can coat the back of a wooden spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Refrigerate curd until set, 2 to 3 hours.

I had some trouble getting the curd to thicken. I think I may have overcooked it.

This curd is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes a more tangy flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the curd turned out perfectly. It's so delicious and versatile. I've used it as a filling for tarts and pies, and I've also spread it on toast and crackers.

I've made citrus curd before, but this recipe is by far the best. The curd is smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of tartness. I love that it uses a variety of citrus fruits, which gives it a complex flavor.
