Method
Prepare the Blueberry Mixture
- In a saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries are soft and the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher.
Cook the Curd
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
- Strain the mashed blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
- Add the egg mixture to the blueberry juice in the saucepan and stir to combine.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
Cool and Store
- Transfer the blueberry curd to a jar or container and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using. The curd will thicken as it cools.
