I love strawberries. I think they are the perfect accompaniment to just about everything. Over Valentine's Day I thought I have made lemon curd, lime curd, grapefruit curd and raspberry curd but what about STRAWBERRIES!?! Welp, here it is folks. The long awaited strawberry curd. Great on ice cream, in cupcakes, on pancakes, and even toast!

Inactive Prep Time: 2 Hours
Servings:1 1/2 - 3 Cups
Ingredients:
5 Egg Yolks
2 Tbsp Corn Starch
3/4 Cup Sugar
12 oz Frozen Strawberries Thawed
2-3 Tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Butter Cubed
Directions:
In a small saucepan combine the egg yolks, sugar, strawberries, and lemon juice. Whisk vigorously, and continuously over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add one tablespoon of corn starch and continue to whisk, add second tablespoon and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Take it off the heat immediately and fold in the butter 3-4 cubes at a time. Make sure that all of the butter is incorporated before adding more. Place a sieve over a heat safe bowl and run the curd through the sieve until it is smooth and shiny. Cover the curd with plastic wrap making sure that the plastic wrap is touching the curd. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until cold - at least 2 hours. Serve or store in an air tight mason jar.
