Description
A delightful blueberry curd that combines sweet and tangy flavors with a creamy texture, perfect for spreading, dolloping, or filling pastries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries burst and the mixture becomes syrupy, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids, ensuring a smooth curd.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until pale, then gradually whisk in the blueberry syrup.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and salt until smooth. Let cool and transfer to a jar.
