This fresh citrus filling will need to be started a day ahead because it must be chilled for 8 hours. You can substitute refrigerated orange juice for fresh; however, squeezing navel oranges only takes about 15 minutes and makes all the difference. I have not tried this curd. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Southern Living magazine.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups fresh orange juice (4 pounds navel oranges)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a 3-quart saucepan; gradually whisk in juice. Whisk in lightly beaten eggs. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, 1-2 minutes or until mixture reaches a pudding like thickness.
2. Remove from heat; whisk in butter and orange rind. Cover, placing plastic wrap directly on curd; chill 8 hours.
