One of the best ways to preserve a clementine is by turning it into something completely different but still useful. One of those is to make curd out of it, you can use this in a lot of other pastries and desserts too. This is also a great gift idea for the holidays, it is delicious, easy to make, and inexpensive. All you need are a few pieces of clementine or if you have leftovers and don’t know where to use them, then this is a great opportunity to not let them go to waste. I’ve made a bunch of lemon curds before, but when I found out about clementine curds, I was excited to try it and I’m glad that the taste did not disappoint, in fact, I now prefer using it as a garnish more than lemon curds. But that’s for me though, you can decide for yourself once you gave this recipe a try. Thanks to One day One recipe via YouTube for making this easy-to-follow tutorial.
