Homemade Raspberry Curd Recipes

Steps:

• Sieve raspberries through a strainer, pressing with the back of a spoon; reserve 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon juice. Discard seeds in sieve. , In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add raspberry juice and butter. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks until well blended. Stir in half of the raspberry mixture. Return all to saucepan; bring to a gently boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes. , Place into small jars; place plastic wrap on surface of curd. Cover and chill. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, zest, and egg yolks; whisk in lemon juice and salt.
• Add butter and place pan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and small bubbles form around the edge of pan, about 5 minutes (do not boil).
• Remove pan from heat while continuing to whisk. In a blender, puree 1 cup raspberries. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Fold raspberry puree into cooled curd. Press plastic wrap against the surface of curd and refrigerate until cool.

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.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries and sugar in a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix®).
• Carefully crack eggs into a small glass bowl, making sure no pieces of shell fall into the bowl. Pour eggs into the blender with the raspberry mixture. Cover and blend on low Variable 1, quickly adjusting to Variable 10. Blend on high speed for 1 minute.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour in raspberry mixture through a sieve. Add lemon juice. Cook and stir until curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• To set up the bottom of a double boiler, bring an inch of water to a gentle simmer on medium heat in a medium saucepan.
• Place the raspberries in a resealable plastic bag or small bowl and crush them.
• Whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a medium metal or glass bowl. The bowl will be used as the top of the double boiler. Place the bowl on top of the simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Continue whisking until the sugar has dissolved.
• Add the butter, a cube at a time, making sure that each piece melts before another is added. The mixture will begin to thicken like a custard.
• Finally, add the lemon juice and crushed raspberries and continue whisking until the curd thickens again. This process takes approximately 10 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
• Strain the curd through a sieve. Cover the surface of the curd with a film of plastic wrap to stop a skin from forming. Store any extra curd in sealed sterilized jars. Keep in fridge.

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries and grapefruit juice in a blender. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Rinse the sieve.
• Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, grapefruit zest and salt into the raspberry puree. Whisk in the egg yolks. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it¿s thick like pudding, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until incorporated.
• Strain the mixture through the sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add in the raspberries, egg yolks, sugar, and salt.
• Cook, mashing the berries and stirring frequently at first and then constantly at the end, until thickened-about 10 minutes.
• Pour the mixture through a coarse strainer set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
• Cool to room temperature; the curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Stir in lemon juice, to taste.
• Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve, or up to 1 month.
