Peach Curd

Ingredients
340g of pureed peaches (3 large peaches)

4 egg yolks

70g of butter

85g of sugar

the juice of 1-2 lemons

Method

First of all, peel off the skin of the peaches and remove the stone.

Cut them into cubes and in a blender, blend the peaches cubes until you reach a puree without any lumps.

In a heatproof bowl, mix the puree with egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice.

Place the bowl over a pot of boiling water (don't let the water touch the bowl) and whisk constantly for about 20 to 30 minutes – it can be very rough, so ask help from someone or your poor arm will hurt!

Now remove the bowl from the heat and add a bit at time the butter into the mixture and whisk well.

Now put the curd into jars and let it cool completely.

If it looks a bit liquid it’s quite normal, let cool it and it will thicken enough.
