Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups mulled wine
  • 1 ¼ cups dried cranberries
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 eggs (large)
  • cups sugar (caster or granulated)
  • cups unsalted butter

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, add the mulled wine, cranberries and cinnamon, simmering (not boiling) for 15-20mins until the mulled wine has reduced and the cranberries have swollen.
  • Allow this to cool slightly before adding the mix to a blender/food processer and blitz for several minutes until you get a puree. Push this through a sieve into a jug or bowl, discarding the skins and remains.
  • In a different bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until fully combined.
  • Melt the butter in the saucepan on a low heat and slowly stir in the egg-sugar mixture before gradually adding the sieved wine.
  • Stir continuously for roughly 10-15mins until the curd has thickened to a thin custard consistency and coats the back of your spoon/spatula.
  • Strain the curd to remove any bits and pour this into a sterile jar, allowing it to cool on the side for 5-10mins before refrigerating to set.

Notes

  • Makes 350ml / 12oz of curd – enough for 1 large jar or 1 ½ medium jars.
  • Keep your curd refrigerated. It should last for several weeks.
  • This is a gluten-free recipe, but please check your ingredients for allergens.
