Yuzu Curd Made of Yuzu Tea Base (Use as a Spread)
- 150 grams Yuzu tea base
- 1 (See my yuzu tea base recipe:)
- 2 Egg yolks
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup (or honey, or you can leave both out)
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 Yellow (ripe) yuzu
- 80 grams Sugar
- Sterilize the storage jar in boiling water beforehand, and dry completely.
- Only if you are using fresh yuzu fruit: Rub the surface of the yuzu with salt to clean, rinse in water, submerge the yuzu briefly in boiling water and drain.
- If you are using fresh yuzu citrus: Put the de-seeded yuzu, peel, insides and all into a heavy pan.
- Add water to cover, and heat.
- Please skim off any scum.
- Only if you are using fresh yuzu: When the water reduces to about 1/3 of its original amount, transfer the contents of the pan to a food processor and puree.
- (I used a handheld stick blender right in the pan this time.)
- If using a food processor, return the puree to the pan.
- Reheat.
- (From this point on the instructions are for both if making this from fresh yuzu, or using the yuzu tea base.)
- Simmer over low heat.
- If you're using yuzu tea base and it's a bit stiff, add 1 tablespoon of water.
- Add all the ingredients.
- Mix with a spatula so that it doesn't burn.
- Heat until everything is well blended and shiny, and it's done.
- (The mixture will be quite soft at this stage.)
- The curd is rather liquid when it's freshly made, but it's still delicious.
- It will become thicker when it cools.
- Serve with chiffon cake or souffle cheesecake.
- It's perfect with yogurt too.
- Keep in the refrigerator when it has cooled, and eat it up as soon as you can.
- This is how it looks the next day.
- It's thick and has a spread-like consistency.
- It's really rich, and has a different deep taste compared to jam.
- Serve on toaste or baguettes.
- I recommend this the most.
- The yuzu seeds can be put into alcohol (white liqueur, or a similar high alcohol base like vodka) and used as a skin freshener.
- If you add a lot of seeds, the liquid will become creamy and become a skin conditioner.
- Increase the collagen in your skin with the benefits of vitamin C.

- If you don't like the bitterness, take out the pith from the insides of the peel with a spoon, or blanch the peel 1-2 times after shredding.
- This makes the yuzu very mild.
- I like to use the whole fruit for nutritional purposes, so I leave the pith as is.
