Scale
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine rhubarb and water. Cook over medium heat until rhubarb is soft and breaks down, about 10 minutes.
- Blend the cooked rhubarb until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove fibers.
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until smooth.
- Stir in the rhubarb puree, lemon juice, and salt.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10–12 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Let the curd cool slightly, then transfer to jars and refrigerate until fully chilled and set.
Notes
- Curd will thicken more as it chills.
- Use fresh or frozen rhubarb depending on availability.
