Cranberry Curd

January 15, 2014 · 5 Comments

IMG_3099

With so many fresh cranberries leftover from the holidays that needed to be used, I didn’t just want to settle for another jam or pie. It’s been some time since I’ve made a curd, and being a lover of this one, I knew I had to transform this classic winter fruit into a tangy sweet curd. This is the best stuff to have on hand for just about anything, from spreading on tea cookies, stirring into yogurt, topping off vanilla ice cream, waffles, the possibilities are deliciously endless! The temptation was far too much, because even though I’m staying clear of processed sugars, I couldn’t stop myself from licking a spoonful of curd, savoring every moment of it.

Cranberry Curd

Ingredients

4 cups – Fresh Cranberries

3/4 cup – Water

1/3 cup – Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

Orange zest from one orange

5 tablespoons – Unsalted Butter {room temperature, cut into pieces}

1¾ cups – Granulated Sugar

Pinch of coarse salt

3 large – Egg yolks {plus 1 large whole egg}

Recipe {Adapted from Annie’s Eats}

In a medium saucepan, cook the cranberries, water, orange juice and zest over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst {about 35 minutes}. Press the cranberries through a fine strainer, scraping the bottom to get as much pulp as possible, and discard the solids {about 2 cups of pulp will be leftover}.

Return the pulp to your saucepan, and combine with the butter, sugar, and salt, cooking over medium heat, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved {about 6 to 7 minutes}. In a bowl whisk the egg yolks and whole egg until combined. While whisking the egg mixture add in 2 tablespoons of the cranberry mixture stirring constantly, so the eggs don’t curdle. Return mixture to saucepan, cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon {about 6-8 minutes}. Remove pan from the heat and strain through a fine strainer into a clean bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of curd, and refrigerate until cold {at least 30-60 minutes}.

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
