Cranberry orange curd! This delicious spread is made with freshly squeezed orange juice and raw cranberries. Â Enjoy with scones and buttermilk biscuits or pack up and give as gifts during the holidays!
We are at the tail end of the very short harvest season for fresh cranberries, so if you didn’t make cranberry sauce for your Thanksgiving feast there is still time to use up those seasonal berries with this curd recipe!
I absolutely love the rich tangy flavor of lemon curd on biscuits, cookies or right smack in the middle of thumbprint cookies and thought “hey, I bet cranberries would be another delicious base for curd!”
Cranberry Orange Curd make great gifts for the holiday season!
Tasty, festive and so pretty too! Â The berries started out ruby red, but once the butter and eggs are added it turns light pink in color.
I made two batches and packaged each little jar with a tea bag and knife spreader! Â These were gifts for my co-workers for all their support over the past eleven years.
I’m now two weeks into my new position and I’ve already had two potlucks! Â Phew, the transition has been seamless – haha!
Enjoy this seasonal curd in yogurt, oatmeal or package them up for hostess gifts during the holiday season!

Hi there – was just wondering how long this would keep for? It looks so yummy, but I have to make my holiday gifts in advance and wouldn’t want it to spoil beforehand!

Hi Ana, This will be fine refrigerated for a couple of weeks. You can extend the life by trying a couple of preserving tips – I found some information here that you might find helpful.
