INGREDIENTS
300 g of pumpkin puree, unsweetened and preferably fresh
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
90 g of butter
200 g of white, granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
METHOD
1. Prep and Melting Magic:
Place sugar, lemon zest, juice, and butter into a saucepan, heating on medium until the butter and sugar melt into a harmonious blend.
Add pumpkin puree, allowing it to simmer until it becomes glossy and smooth. Stir occasionally.
Remove from heat and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes to avoid curdling when adding eggs.
2. Incorporating the Eggs:
Add beaten eggs to the mixture, gently blending until fully incorporated.
Return the pan to low heat, stirring continuously for approximately 15 minutes. The goal is to achieve a hot, shiny, and thick consistency without letting it boil.
3. Finishing Touches:
Remove from heat and sieve the Pumpkin Lemon Curd to ensure a silky texture.
Seal the magic in sterilized jars, and voila! Your Pumpkin Lemon Curd is ready to shine for up to 4 weeks.
