Ingredients:
1 cup fresh orange juice (about 3-4 oranges)
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Directions
1. Prep Your Slow Cooker: Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together fresh orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add Richness: Pour in the melted unsalted butter and whisk until well combined for a silky texture.
4. Incorporate Eggs & Lemon: Add the lightly beaten eggs and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
5. Cook Slowly: Pour the mixture into your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 2–2.5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
6. Cool & Store: Transfer the thickened orange curd to a heat-proof bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, spoon it into jars and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
