Berry Curd
I’ve always loved strawberries and raspberries. Whenever they’re in season,
I think of new and interesting ways to use them. I spoon this curd over just
about everything, from waffles and pancakes to cake and ice cream.

HOMESTEAD
CHARM
No matter what
deliciousness you fill it
with, a Weck jar topped
with an heirloom-quality
wooden sealing lid is a
classic little “I love you”
that’s so easy for Mom to

1 cup chopped fresh
strawberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
¹ ₃ cup sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract


  1. Place the strawberries and raspberries
    in a blender; cover and process until almost
    smooth. Press through a fine-mesh strainer
    into a bowl; reserve ¹ ₂ cup plus 1 Tbsp. juice.
    Discard seeds. In a small heavy saucepan, mix
    sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks and
    berry puree until blended. Add butter; cook
    over medium heat, whisking constantly, until
    mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal
    spoon and a thermometer reads at least
    170°. Do not allow to boil. Remove from
    heat immediately; stir in vanilla.

  2. Transfer to a bowl; cool slightly. Press plastic
    wrap onto surface; refrigerate until cold. Serve,
    or transfer to covered jars and refrigerate up
    to 2 weeks.

We love the sweet-tart
flavor combination
of strawberries and
raspberries, but you
can sub in other
berries to make your
own blend (just use
1 cup of each).
