How to Make Cranberry Curd
- 1In a small saucepan, combine the first 3 ingredients over medium heat. Cook until the berries pop and the liquid bubbles. Remove from heat and pour into a strainer, pressing well with a spoon. Be sure to scrape all the red puree on the underside of the strainer into the bowl also.
Pour puree back into the saucepan and set aside to cool. - 2Whisk the egg yolks and whole egg until combined. While whisking pour in both the sugars , and butter whisking until light yellow. Add the egg mixture to the cranberry puree in the sauce pan,and the cornstarch mixture, continue whisking, until creamy and well incorporated, takes about 1 minute.
- 3Place over medium heat, still whisking, until the custard thickens and can coat the back of a wooden spoon- 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, and stir in liqueur. Strain, if desired, into a bowl or jar,(or leave as it is) cover surface with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
