never thought of trying non-citrus curd (have made orange etc) - sounds great.
I guess you could use a lot of other fruits?
|

would imagine so diana....kiwi would be nice....just with other fruits you would need to add the lemon juice to keep the colour

how did your strawberry curd go Carrot Lover? have you made it yet?

I made some. It was very nice, but it went a bit lumpy. I'm guessing that's because I'm not used to making curd with cornflour
|

a balloon whisk gets rid of the lumps Diana...glad you like it though
|
Diana

It wasn't big lumps, and I did use a whisk (but not a balloon whisk).
Oh well, I'll just have to keep trying until I get it right

When I made lemon curd, before I put it into jars i passed it through a sieve, this caught the zest and any lumpy bits .. would it be suitable to do for the strawberry curd or are there lumpy strawberries in the curd?
