Ingredients

  • granulated sugar
    ⅓ c
  • eggs
    3 large
  • sea salt
    ⅛ tsp
  • lemon juice

    freshly squeezed

    ¼ c
  • blueberries

    frozen wild blueberries

    1 c
  • unsalted butter

    cold and cubed

    ¼ c

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, eggs, and salt, and whisk until smooth. *Use a non-metal saucepan like a ceramic coated one to prevent the curd from having a metallic flavor if you prefer*

  2. 2

    Add lemon juice and blueberries, whisk to combine.

  3. 3

    Heat on medium low heat, whisking frequently to prevent burning. Cook until simmering and thickened. It's ok if the blueberries don't break down and remain whole.

  4. 4

    Strain the blueberry curd through a sieve into a heat safe non-metal bowl, mashing the blueberries to release all the juice. Remove the seeds and skins.

  5. 5

    Add the cold and cubed butter into the strained hot curd. Stir to melt the butter. Once smooth, cover with a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap placed directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled and thickened.

  6. 6

    Use as you would blueberry sauce or lemon curd. Store in an airtight non-metal container or jar for up to one week.
