Zest and juice of 2 oranges
12 ready-made 7cm tart shells

Method

1.

Whisk eggs, yolks and sugar in a pan off the heat until well combined. Place over very low heat, then add butter, zest and juice. Whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes until thickened, then pour through a sieve into a bowl. Cool, then cover and chill.
2.

Meanwhile, to make candied zest, stir orange zest and sugar in a saucepan with 100ml water over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil for 5 minutes, without stirring. Pour into a bowl and cool completely.
3.

Just before serving, fill the tart shells with curd, then top with candied zest.
