Navel oranges or tangelos can also be used if you don't happen to have a Valencia orange tree growing in your backyard :) Delicious on toast, or mixed with marscapone and used as an icing or to fill tarts.
Ingredients
1/2cupfreshly squeezed orange juice
100gbutter
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
3tablespoonsmild flavoured honey [I used native bush honey]
Pinchof salt
3free range eggs
Instructions
Strain the orange juice to remove any pith and flesh. Combine orange juice, butter, lime juice, honey and salt in a ceramic or glass bowl and place over a simmering saucepan of hot water. Once the mixture is melted together add the eggs one at a time whisking until smooth. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickly coats the back of the spoon. This took about 10 minutes of patiently stirring so the mixture doesn't curdle. Pour into a jar and cool, the curd will thicken as it cools. Keep in the fridge and use within 1 month.
