Instructions

Cup of Yum

First, place strawberries in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Press the mixture thru a fine mesh over a medium bowl, and discard the seeds.
Add sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, and gradually whisk in strawberry puree, vanilla bean seeds, and fresh lemon juice.
Whisk in the 4 egg yolks. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, and cook for 1 minute, also whisking constantly.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter until combined.
Place plastic wrap directly onto the warm curd, to prevent a film from forming, and chill for 6-8 hours.
Serve as is as a spread or dip, or use in other recipes.
