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 was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of grapefruit, but I'm glad I did! The grapefruit flavor is subtle and it really complements the lemon and orange.

The curd was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I added a little bit of sugar to it and it was perfect.

This citrus curd is a delightful burst of sunshine! The combination of lemon, orange, and grapefruit gives it a bright and tangy flavor that is perfect for spreading on toast, dolloping on scones, or using as a pie filling.
