This Raspberry Curd is a luscious and tangy spread made from fresh raspberries, sugar, eggs, butter, and lemon juice. It’s cooked gently on the stovetop until thickened, then strained for a smooth texture and cooled to perfection. Perfect for spreading on toast, dolloping on desserts, or using as a filling in pastries.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the raspberries gently under cold water and drain them thoroughly. Have your sugar, eggs, butter, and lemon juice ready to go.
  2. Cook the Fruit Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and sugar. Stir frequently and cook until the raspberries soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Lemon Juice: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly add the eggs and lemon juice to the saucepan mixture, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
  4. Thicken the Curd: Continue cooking the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula. Cook until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Strain the Mixture: Pour the curd through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove the seeds and any lumps, pressing down gently to extract maximum flavor and smoothness.
  6. Add Butter: While the curd is still warm, add the butter pieces and stir until fully melted and incorporated, creating a silky texture.
  7. Cool the Curd: Transfer the curd to a clean jar or container. Cover it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely chilled and set.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries for best flavor.
  • Stir constantly when adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • Store raspberry curd refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use the curd as a spread, dessert topping, or pastry filling.
