A deliciously tangy curd made with oranges and lemons, just like the nursery rhyme! Try to use unwaxed fruit for this curd.

Step 1	Wash the oranges and lemons and then grate the zest from them, avoiding the white bitter pith.
Step 2	Cut the fruit in half and squeeze out the juice, removing any pips.
Step 3	Put the orange and lemon juice with the zest, beaten eggs, butter and sugar into a double saucepan (or heatproof-bowl over a hot pan of water) over a low heat and heat gently until all the sugar has dissolved.
Step 4	Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, the best consistency is when the curd coats the back of a wooded spoon without dripping off.
Step 5	Spoon into hot clean jars using a jam funnel and seal at once. Store in a cool dark place for up to 2 weeks or for up to a month in a fridge. Refrigerate after opening.
