Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Measure out all ingredients, wash the raspberries and set aside. Beat the eggs lightly in a separate bowl.
- Cook raspberries and sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and sugar. Stir occasionally and cook until the raspberries release their juices and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs: Gradually add the beaten eggs to the raspberry mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Continue cooking over low to medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Finish with butter: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter pieces one at a time until fully melted and incorporated, creating a smooth and glossy curd.
- Cool and store: Pour the curd into a clean jar or container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. The curd will thicken further as it cools. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Stir constantly when adding the eggs to prevent scrambling.
- For a smoother curd, strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds before adding butter.
- Use ripe but firm raspberries for best flavor and consistency.
- Allow the curd to cool completely before sealing the container to preserve freshness.
