Ingredients

• Servings: 33
• 4 eggs
• 225 g sugar
• 2 oranges
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 115 g butter

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 140c/120c fan/gas 1. wash one medium or two small jam jars, then rinse well and put in the oven to sterilise them - or place them in a dishwasher and run through on a very hot cycle.
• 2 beat two eggs, plus two yolks, together in a large bowl. stir in the caster sugar, orange zest and juice, lemon juice and butter.
• 3 put the bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure it doesn't touch the water. stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. run your finger down the back of the spoon - if it leaves a path, the curd is ready.
• 4 pour into the jars and cover. store in the fridge, where it will keep for up to three weeks.
