It’s MARCH, finally! Spring is literally right around the corner and it just can’t come fast enough!

We have had a few warm/hot days here lately in Florida but just knowing that it is spring and no more bundling up is a huge relief! Although, summer can just stay away for all I’m concerned. I am NOT looking to sweating my bum off either.

It’s MARCH, finally! Spring is literally right around the corner and it just can’t come fast enough!

We have had a few warm/hot days here lately in Florida but just knowing that it is spring and no more bundling up is a huge relief! Although, summer can just stay away for all I’m concerned. I am NOT looking to sweating my bum off either.

As you should know by now, if you have followed me for a while, every month there is a new series! This month’s series is spring desserts, woot! I’m starting it off for this simple yet decadent, rich and flavorful vanilla bean orange curd! Oranges are in season and they are picked with bright citrusy flavor.

This curd is  perfect for baking, spreading, slathering, filling or just eating with a spoon! The vanilla bean gives just a nice subtle touch to take it over the top. I love vanilla and use it a lot in my sweet recipes. I almost always use vanilla bean paste. It packs a lot more flavor and the little speckles of vanilla look so lovely and burst in your mouth.

I’m going to be using this vanilla bean orange curd in many recipes to come, so check back often. 😉
