I've made this curd several times now and it's always a hit. It's so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. I love it as a filling for tarts and pies, but it's also great on its own as a dessert.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy berry curd. I used frozen berries and it still turned out great. The curd is tart and sweet, and it's perfect for using as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
