How To Make orange curd

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Butter, sugar, eggs, orange juice and zest, lime juice and zest, the until smooth.

Step 2

Place in the microwave for one-minute intervals, stirring after each minute until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. This should take no more than 4-5 minutes depending on your microwave. It always takes 4 minutes to thicken.

Remove from the microwave, cover and cool then place in sealed jars or containers. Store for up to three weeks
