Cranberry-Orange Curd Recipe

Pour orange juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 3/4 cup liquid. Pour into a medium saucepan.

Add orange zest cranberries and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally until cranberries have burst 8 to 10 minutes.

Pour cranberry mixture into a food processor or blender; blend until smooth 10 to 20 seconds. Reserve 1/3 cup and return remaining cranberry mixture to saucepan over low heat.

Whisk egg yolks together in a small bowl. Slowly add reserved cranberry mixture whisking constantly. Slowly whisk egg-cranberry mixture back into the saucepan and continue whisking for 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened and the curd coats the back of a metal spoon. Add butter and whisk until melted and fully incorporated.

Pour into a sterile jar and allow to cool. Curd keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
