Ingredients
Scale
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens beautifully.
In a bowl, whisk together the large eggs until lightly beaten.
Slowly add the hot blueberry mixture from the pan to the eggs, whisking constantly.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter and lemon zest. Mix until everything is smooth.
Let the blueberry curd cool before using it.
Notes
For a smoother curd, strain the mixture after cooking to remove any blueberry skins.
