Gooseberry Curd recipe
Ingredients:
1 pint of gooseberries, rinsed.
2 tablespoons of water.
½ cup of sugar.
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
2 medium eggs.
1 medium egg yolk.
Preparation Instructions:
Place the gooseberries and water a non-corroding saucepan. Cover and cook on a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until the gooseberries are mushy.
Purée the gooseberries through a strainer to produce about 1 ¼ cups of purée.
Stir the sugar and butter into the warm purée and heat, stirring constantly.
Whisk the eggs and the egg yolk just until mixed, then whisk in a little of the hot gooseberry mixture to heat the eggs.
Return to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is well thickened, and has reached a temperature of 170°F (75°C).
Pour into a container, cover, and chill.
