Blueberry Curd Recipes

Steps:

• Place the blueberries and lime zest in a covered saucepan with 1 tablespoon water and cook gently, shaking the pan occasionally, until very soft (about 10 minutes.). Press through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl or the top of a double boiler, then stir in the butter and sugar and put over a saucepan of gently simmering water; do not allow the bottom of the bowl to sit in the water. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
• Strain in the eggs and continue to stir over gently simmering water until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, which should take 30-40 minutes. Stir only occasionally at first, more frequently as the cooking progresses, then constantly toward the end so that the curd cooks evenly and does not curdle. The water must not boil.
• Strain the curd, if necessary, into clean, dry jars. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, add the walnuts, and pulse until coarsely ground.
• Add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and pulse until finely ground.
• Add the butter and pulse until the mixture comes together and holds when compressed.
• Press the mixture into a 9-inch (23-cm) round tart pan. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Freeze for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚F).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Add the blueberries and water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until most of the blueberries have burst, about 5 minutes.
• Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl.
• Add the blueberry juice, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch to a medium saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly.
• Once the mixture is warmed through, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until melted and incorporated.
• Continue whisking until the curd begins to thicken, 5-8 minutes.
• Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in the olive oil.
• Pour the blueberry curd into the par baked tart shell, and bake for 15 minutes.
• Chill the tart in the refrigerator overnight.
• Slice the kiwis into desired shapes and arrange on top of the chilled tart.
• Enjoy!
