THE MAKING OF HOMEMADE PINK GRAPEFRUIT CURD FROM MY TREE

HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THE PINK GRAPEFRUIT CURD

CREATE A DOUBLE BOILER BY ADDING 2 INCHES OF WATER TO A SMALL SAUCEPAN AND ADDING A STAINLESS STEEL PAN ON TOP.

CRACK AND SEPERATE THE EGGS

ZEST THE GRAPEFRUIT

SQUEEZE THE PINK GRAPEFRUIT JUICE. YOU NEED AT LEAST 2/3 CUP

STRAIN THE PINK GRAPEFRUIT JUICE BEFORE USING

ADD THE SUGAR AND EGGS TO THE DOUBLE BOILER AND WHISK UNTIL THE SUGAR IS MELTED

WHISK NON-STOP OVER THE DOUBLE BOILER AFTER ADDING THE ZEST AND JUICE

THIS IS THE PALE YELLOW COLOR THE CURD TURNS AFTER WHISKING FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES

WHISK IN THE BUTTER

ADD A LITTLE FOOD COLORING IF DESIRED. I ADD IT SO THAT I CAN DIFFERENTIATE FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT CURDS IN MY FREEZER!

STRAIN THE CURD TO MAKE SURE ALL COOKED EGG PARTICLES ARE REMOVED

THIS IS WHAT WOULD REMAIN IN YOUR CURD IF YOU DON'T STRAIN IT

PUT THE CURD IN A JAR TO COOL

WHEN COOL, WRAP SARAN WRAP OVER THE TOP MAKING SURE THE WRAP TOUCHES THE TOP OF THE CURD, THIS WILL MAKE SURE ICE CRYSTALS DON'T FORM WHEN YOU FREEZE.
