Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Orange Curd
- Wash the oranges thoroughly in a mixture of water and white vinegar for about 10 minutes. Pat them dry, zest avoiding the bitter white pith, and juice them.
- In a medium saucepan, combine cane sugar with the zested orange skin, rubbing until moist and fragrant.
- Add cornstarch, freshly squeezed orange juice, non-dairy milk, and sea salt to the saucepan. Whisk until smooth.
- Set over medium heat and stir continuously for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat, strain into a bowl, and whisk in cold vegan butter until smooth.
- Cover with plastic wrap pressed against the curd. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes
Choose organic oranges for zesting. Always use freshly squeezed orange juice to preserve flavor. Strain the curd for a silky-smooth finish. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for later use.
