Ingredients

  • 4 oranges, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 16 long stem strawberries, for dipping

Directions

Remove the zest from the oranges with a vegetable peeler, being careful to avoid the white pith. Put the zest in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is very finely minced.

Cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the sugar/orange zest mixture and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the orange juice and salt. Mix until combined.

Pour the mixture into a 2-quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. The orange curd will be ready when it coats a spoon, and it will register about 175 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Be careful not to overcook, or it will curdle. Remove from the heat and let cool or refrigerate.

Place the orange curd in a bowl and decoratively arrange the strawberries on a serving platter around the bowl.

    the recipe was tasty but even though I pulverized the orange peel to the point where I can hardly notice it mixed in with the sugar after the curd was cooked I could feel the little pieces of orange peel. my food processor is a Cuisinart 11 cups powerful enough to do the job. Ina please tell me what to do next time, thank you for all the valuable recipes I love to watch your show. grace from Miami.

    Great recipe! It was a big hit for our outing to the winery. Great with the strawberries. It was a little hard to figure out how long to cook it, but I was just careful not to over cook and follow the recipe exactly. Thanks Ina!
