Steps:
- Pour orange juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 3/4 cup liquid. Pour into a medium saucepan.

Slowly whisk egg-cranberry mixture back into the saucepan and continue whisking for 5 minutes, or until mixture is thickened and the curd coats the back of a metal spoon. Add butter and whisk until melted and fully incorporated.
- Pour into a sterile jar and allow to cool. Curd keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
