All Butter Blood Orange Curd (Stokesay Castle Shop) By @SpectreUK

Bwah hah hah haaa! It's coming up to Halloween and what better to have on my toast in the morning than a bloodcurdling All Butter Blood Orange Curd. On a recent trip to spooky Stokesay Castle, in Shropshire, we picked up this blood orange curd in the castle shop. Produced for English Heritage, this Blood Orange Curd is recommended with Gingersnaps.

 

Of course I tried this All Butter Blood Orange Curd on toast first. My favourite lunch is boiled eggs and some sort of jam on toast. It's the only meal where I eat the sweet, such as the jam or whatever on toast first before my boiled eggs. Cinabar says I'm a freak for doing that, but nevertheless I have always enjoyed it that way. I found this Blood Orange Curd tasted a little like a lemon curd had been left on its own in a dark cupboard next to a randy jar of marmalade.

I didn't have any Gingersnaps to hand so I thought I'd try the next best thing and spread this Blood Orange Curd on ginger nuts. Bizarre sounding I know, especially whilst I was spreading a little curd on the top of a ginger nut biscuit. However having said that, the Blood Orange Curd really went very well with the crunchy ginger nut biscuit. With flavours of orange curd and spicy ginger whirling around in my mouth as I ate, I rather liked it. Well, you never know until you try that's what I say. Boo!
