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.

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).
