Instructions

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, sugar, and egg yolks until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 8–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in butter until fully melted. Strain through a sieve if desired. Cool and refrigerate before using.

Notes

For a thicker texture, cook the curd a little longer, but keep the heat low to avoid scrambling the eggs.
