In this custard, citrus juice stands in for milk as the base liquid, thickened by egg yolks. Butter gives the curd a glorious sheen. Garnish with mint leaves for a spot of green color. Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
6 large egg yolks |
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
1 1/2 cups blueberries |
1 1/2 cups raspberries |
8 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Heat to 180° or until thick (about 6 minutes), stirring constantly with a whisk; remove from heat. Add butter and rind, stirring until butter melts. Place curd in a medium bowl. Cover surface of curd with plastic wrap, and chill completely. Spoon 2 tablespoons curd into each of 8 small cups.
