CRANBERRY CURD



Cranberry Curd image

Delicious over scones, oatmeal, or yogurt, this cranberry curd is a seasonal spin on traditional lemon curd. If you prefer a smoother texture, press the cranberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve after blending in the food processor. This makes enough to fill a pint jar.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
¾ cup water
½ cup white sugar
3 large egg yolks egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place cranberries in a medium saucepan. Add water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst, 8 to 10 minutes.

Slowly whisk egg-cranberry mixture back into the saucepan and continue whisking until thickened and the curd coats the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until melted and fully incorporated.
  • Pour into a sterile jar and allow to cool. Curd keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 cups frozen cranberries, or fresh
1 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice
orange, zested (about 2 tablespoons)
½ cup heavy cream, cold
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 orange, zested, (about 1 tablespoon)
½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 pinch kosher salt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons molasses
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
unsalted butter, for greasing
freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cranberry sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cranberries have broken down and the sauce has thickened significantly. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool until ready to use.
  • While the cranberry sauce is simmering, make the orange ginger whipped cream: Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, orange zest, ginger, and salt to a medium bowl. Use an electric hand mixer on high speed to whip until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Make the gingerbread crepes: Add the eggs, melted butter, flour, milk, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, molasses, and vanilla to a blender and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease the skillet with butter. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting to coat the surface of the pan evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the batter looks dry on top and the bottom side is golden brown. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 1-2 minutes. Transfer the crepe on a baking sheet or plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  • To assemble, spread a few tablespoons of cranberry sauce evenly over the crepe and gently roll up. Repeat with the remaining crepes and cranberry sauce. Top with the orange ginger whipped cream and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, if desired.
  • Serve the crepes with Mocha Frappuccinos.
  • Enjoy!
