Instructions
- Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and drain well.
- Place the cranberries and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and soften, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry mixture cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the large egg until smooth.
- Slowly add a few tablespoons of the warm cranberry mixture into the egg while whisking to temper it.
- For the tempered egg back into the saucepan with the remaining cranberry mixture.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and cook gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the diced unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and mix well.
- For the cranberry curd through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove any solids.
- Allow the curd to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 2 hours.
Tips
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and natural tartness.
- Temper the egg carefully to avoid scrambling when mixing with hot cranberry mixture.
- Strain the curd to ensure a smooth texture without cranberry skins or seeds.
- Store the curd in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week.
