Strawberry-Lime Curd

Adding lime to a strawberry curd makes it sweet and tangy at the same time. This easy recipe comes together in a few minutes and is great on toast, pancakes, muffins, or even as a dessert topping.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package fresh strawberries, pureed
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 lime, zested
• 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup butter
• 4 egg yolks, beaten

Steps

1. Mix strawberry puree, sugar, cornstarch, lime zest, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and stir in strawberry mixture until well combined. Add egg yolks, stir, and return to heat.
3. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until strawberry curd coats the back of a spoon and is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
