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 curd is so easy to make and it tastes amazing! I love the combination of mandarin oranges and lime. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

Followed the recipe exactly and the curd turned out great. It's a bit tart, but that's how I like it. Perfect for spreading on toast or scones.

This curd is delicious! I used it to fill a layer cake and it was a huge success. The curd is thick and creamy, with a beautiful citrus flavor. It was the perfect complement to the chocolate cake.

I'm not a huge fan of curd, but this recipe changed my mind. The citrus flavor is so bright and refreshing. I especially appreciate that it's not too sweet. I'll definitely be making this again.

This mandarin orange lime curd is a delightful treat! The tangy citrus flavors pair perfectly with the creamy curd, creating a luscious and refreshing dessert. I served it over pound cake and it was a hit with my family. Highly recommend!
