Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound blood oranges
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, whisked

I love the flavor of this curd, but it's a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my curd turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This curd is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

This curd is so easy to make. I had it ready in less than 30 minutes. And it's so versatile. I've used it as a filling for tarts and cakes, and I've also spread it on toast and scones.

I've made this curd twice now, and it's always a hit. It's so creamy and smooth, and the blood orange flavor is so refreshing. I love using it as a filling for tarts and cakes, or just spreading it on toast.
