Homemade Raspberry Curd image

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces fresh raspberries
3/4 cup sugar
5 large eggs
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup butter, cut into 1 tablespoon pats

Steps:

  • In a saucepan combine raspberries, sugar, eggs and salt. Place saucepan on burner and turn to medium heat. While sitting next to or standing over stove, continually whisk mixture for 15 minutes. I always set my timer. After about 8 minutes the mixture will begin to thicken. Keep whisking. You are preventing the eggs from curdling and keeping the ingredients smooth and creamy. After 15 minutes, remove from heat and add butter 2 tablespoons at a time. Whisk until melted and then add 2 more. Continue this until all butter is added and melted. Pour mixture into a bowl using a fine mesh strainer. Strain out raspberry seeds and any cooked egg. If using chilled curd, cover curd and place in fridge for at least 3 hours. If baking curd in a dish, you can use immediately. Curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
