Raspberry Lime Curd Recipes

RASPBERRY CURD

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Add raspberries, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, zest, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until curd coats the back of a spoon and is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Strain curd through a fine mesh sieve, mashing the raspberries with the back of a spoon.

EASY RASPBERRY CURD

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.

RASPBERRY CURD

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.
