Grapefruit Curd
The joyful collision of my refrigerator running over with eggs and winter citrus is Grapefruit Curd. This makes me very very happy, I love to use up things I have in abundance and folks we have got eggs.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 whole eggs slightly beaten
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed grapefruit juice pink is so pretty
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 TBSP butter
Instructions
- in a bowl whisk eggs and yolks together
- combine with sugar and grapefruit juice
- add to small sauce pan
- cook and stir over low heat 8-10 minutes or until the mixture coats the back of a wooden sppon
- remove from heat and sieve to remove lumps
- then cool it slightly and stir in the butter one Tablespoon at a time, stir after each addition until smooth
- store covered with plastic wrap on the top of curd, also make sure it has a lid over that to keep it from tasting like your fridge
- store up to four days
Notes
- you will need a heavy bottom small saucepan
- and a sieve to strain the curd because lumps will happen!
