How to Make Orange Butter Spread

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (25g) custard powder, 1/4 cup (60ml) orange juice, and the zest of 1 large orange. Whisk well to combine.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and thickened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, but recommended!).
  4. Pour the warm spread into warm, sterilized jars, leaving a small space at the top.
  5. Seal the jars tightly and label them with the date.
  6. Allow the spread to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
