Forest Fruit Curd

Ingredients

• 250g forest fruit mix

• 80g salted butter

• 90g sugar

• 2 eggs

Directions

1. Tip 250g Forest Fruits Mix into a medium saucepan.

2. Cook the fruit over a medium heat until the fruit is no longer frozen – around 2-3 minutes.

3. Add 80g Salted Butter and 90g Sugar to the fruit.

4. Continue to stir over the heat until the sugar and butter have melted – around 1 to 2 minutes.

5. Pour the mixture into a large jug or blender jug ready to puree

6. Use a stick blender or regular blender to puree the fruit mixture until it is as smooth as possible.

7. Add 2 Eggs and blend again until everything is incorporated.

8. Add 2 Eggs and blend again until everything is incorporated.

9. Strain the mixture back into the saucepan. This will remove the remaining pips etc.

10. Stir the mix over the heat until it has thickened. You can raise the heat a little at the beginning to get the heat up. And you can continue to adjust the heat so that the mixture is no hotter than a very light simmer. If you are underconfident, keep the heat low – it will just take longer to thicken. Keep stirring and make sure to keep scraping along the bottom of the pan. Do not walk away or take your eyes of the pan.

11. The curd is ready once it coats the back of a spoon or spatula. This should take no more than 8 to 10 minutes. You will know it is ready when it stops getting any thicker.
