Curd is a sweet spread that is extremely popular is the United Kingdom, but can be enjoyed here in the States as well. Our favorite ways of enjoying fruit curds are on pancakes with fresh fruit, on ice cream or cake, even simply with cookies. We at Betty's Tasty Buttons think as long as it's enjoyed, there's no wrong way to enjoy it.

Curd is a thickened sauce made with eggs, butter, sugar, juice, and zest (or pulp). We use local eggs and butter, fresh fruit and organic raw sugar. The difference between curd and custard is the introduction of milk while the difference between curd and pie filling is the quantity of fruit (curd has more, giving it a deeper fruit flavor).
