Directions
1. Combine the orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
2. Heat over medium heat until steam starts to rise from the pan. Do not simmer (if does, remove from heat and let cool 1 minute).
3. While the juices are heating, whisk together in a bowl, the sugar, eggs, and yolk.
4. Once the zest/juice is hot, slowly drizzle into the sugar/egg mix, whisking constantly.
5. Now add all back into the saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until mixture has thickened. Temperature of mixture should be 170° and it clings to the back of the wooden spoon, about 3 minutes total.
5. Off heat, whisk in the cold unsalted butter one piece at a time, letting the first piece melt before adding the next.
6. Add the heavy cream and blend well.
FINALIZING
7. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
8. Cover with plastic wrap, letting the plastic touch the surface of the curd so a skin doesn't form.
9. Put in the refrigerator until ready to use. Makes about 1 cup of curd. This will keep 1 week in the refrigerator and can be frozen.
SERVING
10. Serve over desserts, or coat chicken or fish.
