Instructions

  1. Start simmering an inch of water in the bottom pan of a double boiler.

  2. Simmer blueberries with lemon juice in a saucepan until very soft.

  3. Mash the cooked blueberries, then strain through a sieve into a bowl.

  4. Add lemon zest, sugar, and butter (with a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter) to the strained blueberry juice; mix well.

  5. Whisk beaten egg yolks into the blueberry mixture.

  6. Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk frequently until the curd thickens, coats a spoon, and reaches 175 F.

  7. Pour the warm curd into jars; it will thicken further as it chills.
