Hello Sunshine Clementine Curd

Yes, I want some summer sunshine and warm breezes and lots of it. But that's not going to happen just yet. So in the meantime, this clementine curd that tastes like a dreamy sunny day will have to do.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup clementine juice, about 5-6 clementines
1 stick unsalted butter, just melted and warm
4 egg yolks
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar

Directions:
1. Grate the clementines and add the zest and the juice into a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the sugar and eggs and mix to combine. Add the melted butter and place over a very low heat.

2. Whisk constantly while keeping the heat as low as possible. Switch to a heat-proof spatula and continue to stir while taking any of the mixture off the sides and bottom of the pan.

3. Continue stirring until the curd has thickened and coats the back of the spatula. Remove from heat immediately and strain into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming. Refrigerate. Pour into serving jars and serve.

** It keeps for a week.

I've made lemon curd a few times, but it's never crossed my mind to try it with clementines! Sounds fantastic! And warm-weather-beckoning...=) Yes, please.

I have made lemon curd before. I love it with pound cake, but never thought about using anything different. Thank you for posting not to mention being a new follower. I have to admit I love food, both the creating of the food and the presentation of the food. Any time I can find a new wonderful recipe to try I am excited. Thank you.
