Blueberry Curd
As I was browsing ideas to use up the last of our frozen blueberries, I was thinking about other fruit recipes that I’ve made and loved in the past. I was remembering how much I really enjoyed this raspberry curd and figured blueberry curd would also be awesome. So I hit up Google, and came across this recipe from Amanda at Fake Ginger.
I whipped up this curd and was shocked at how PURPLE it came out. You don’t normally see a whole lot of purple foods out there, so I was excited. The recipe made just one small jar of curd which had delicious blueberry taste.
Hubby and I were contemplating how to use up this little jar of Blueberry Curd and came up with a few ideas. I ate some spread on graham crackers with some buttercream that I had in the fridge.
Hubby on the other hand, spooned some over some vanilla ice cream. Be sure to check back later to see what I did with the rest of the curd.

Blueberry Curd
A great way to use blueberries
Yield: 1 cup
Ingredients:
1 cup blueberries
1 Tbsp water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
Put blueberries and water in saucepan and cook over low heat until blueberries are very soft, about 10 minutes.
Press mixture through a fine mesh sieve and put liquid back into saucepan off of the heat. Stir everything together and cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I made this for my family get-together and everyone loved it. It came out pretty soggy, though, so I’ll need to try to get the extra juices out of the fruits before cooking. I also didn’t pre-heat the baking pan under the pie dish so that may have contributed too. Thanks for this recipe!

So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Outstanding! We were able to use our fresh peaches and sweet cherries to make this wonderful pie. I did make the following adjustments: I only used half cup of sugar in the pie filling, and in the crumble topping I used 1/4 brown sugar and 2 tbsp. sugar, and I reduced the butter to 3 tbsp. melted. I used a fork to press the crumble ingredients together (in pastry cutter style) until it became crumbly. It was absolutely delicious and I know I’ll be making it again and again.
