Lemon Curd is a long time on my to-do-list, but I did’nt get do it till now. Since I had some blackberries, I decided to make Blackberry Curd.
The result is a very creamy, silky and smooth “spread”.
It tastes fruity, slightly sour and not too sweet. And the great colour…..!
This curd is really easy and fast to do. Stored in the fridge it lasts 2 weeks.
You can use this Blackberry Curd for:
- cake fillings,
- tarts,
- in crepes,
- on ice cream and desserts,
- on scones
- or just as bread spread.

Homemade tomato ketchup
I always make this tomato ketchup in summer, when tomatoes are of abundance – from our garden or from the shop.
Tomato ketchup tastes very good with grilled chicken or turkey. If the weather is bad, we would roast the chicken in the oven and tomato ketchup shouldn’t be missing.
As bring along to BBQ parties.
It is very fruity, slightly sour and sweet in taste. Can not be compared with the normal ketchup in the supermarket. Our children are crazy about it.
I use very ripe tomatoes, gelling agent 3:1, for example…
Like jam, homemade ketchup should be stored in a cool, dark room or cellar. Used jars should be kept in the refrigerator.
