How to Make Fresh Strawberries With Lemon Curd
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the butter is melted.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks.
- Temper the egg yolks: Gradually whisk 2 tablespoons of the warm lemon mixture into the egg yolks to prevent curdling.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining lemon mixture.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Let cool completely.
- While the curd cools, prepare the strawberry sauce: In a blender, combine 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon water.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- To assemble, spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberry sauce onto each serving plate.
- Top with 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries and 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon curd.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
