How to Make Banana Curd
- Mash 3 ripe bananas thoroughly using a wooden spoon or fork.
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter slowly in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, the mashed bananas, zest of 1 lemon, and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to soften.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs lightly. Gradually whisk in 3 tablespoons of the warm banana mixture to temper the eggs.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining banana mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot curd into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace. Seal tightly.
- Let the jars cool completely before refrigerating. Enjoy!
