Ingredients
- 1 pint raspberries
- 1 pint blackberries
- 1 pint strawberries
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 lime sliced
Lemon Curd
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
Honey Lime Dressing
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 lime zested
Instructions
Lemon Curd
- In a medium glass bowl, whisk together the sugar, lemon juice, and egg yolks. (DO NOT use a metal bowl. The lemon juice will react with it.)
- Place the glass bowl on top of a saucepan with a couple of inches of simmering water. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. You're creating a double-boiler.
- Whisk the lemon curd for about 10 minutes until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter one piece at a time until melted.
- Pour into a glass jar, cover, and refrigerate until cooled.
Cup of Yum
Berry Salad
- Rinse and dry the fruit. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half. Place all the fruit in a large serving bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, and lime zest. Pour over the berries and stir to coat.
- Place the berry salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill and let the dressing do its work.
- To serve, top portions of berry salad with some lemon curd and a little extra lime zest, if desired.
Notes
- You can make the lemon curd ahead of time to save on preparation time. It'll keep for up to 1 month in the fridge or 1 year in the freezer. Just thaw the lemon curd for 24 hours in the fridge before using it if you freeze it.
