Ingredients
  

Blueberry Curd Base
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces

Method
 

Prepare the Blueberry Mixture
  1. 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.
  2. Remove from heat and mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher.
Cook the Curd
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
  2. Strain the mashed blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
  3. Add the egg mixture to the blueberry juice in the saucepan and stir to combine.
  4. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
Cool and Store
  1. Transfer the blueberry curd to a jar or container and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using. The curd will thicken as it cools.
