Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • flat whisk see note below

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe grapefruits see note
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar or caster sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place the juice and zest of two grapefruit in a saucepan along with the sugar and egg yolks.
  • Over a medium heat, whisk until the sugar has dissolved, then continue whisking occasionally until the mixture starts to boil.
  • Continuing to cook over a medium heat, whisk while the mixture boils until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 15 minutes).
  • Once thickened, decant into a heatproof bowl or jar and allow to cool.

Notes

I prefer using a flat whisk in making curds to get better into the corners of the pan. You can use a traditional balloon whisk instead.
The juice of two grapefruits can be replaced by 1 cup of grapefruit juice if fresh grapefruits are not available. Be sure that if using pre-made juice that it is fresh juice and not from concentrate.
