Description
Naturally sweetened, this brightly colored Cranberry Curd is wonderfully tart and packed with flavor from orange, honey, and pink peppercorn.
Ingredients
- 1 bag fresh or frozen cranberries (12 ounces)
- ¾ cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns (optional)
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier) or brandy
Instructions
Cook cranberries, orange juice, zest, and peppercorns in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until cranberries burst, about 15 minutes. Transfer cranberry mixture to a food processor and purée.
Strain cranberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve back into saucepan with honey, butter, and salt; discard solids.
Cook mixture over medium heat until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
Whisk together egg yolks and egg in a large bowl. Gradually whisk cranberry mixture into egg mixture, transfer back to saucepan over low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats back of spoon, about 8 minutes.
Off heat, stir in liqueur then strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap on surface of curd and refrigerate until completely chilled.
Use as desired.
