Ingredients
2 cups peaches, pitted, peeled and sliced (fresh or frozen, thawed)
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons apricot jam
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
1.In blender, puree peaches, sugar, and jam, taste and add more sugar in needed.
2.In custard cup or small bowl, add cornstarch and lemon juice, stir to mix, add to peach mixture & puree.
3.Pour mixture into 4 cup microwave safe Pyrex measuring cup or other safe glass mixing bowl.
4.Place in microwave and cook on high power for one minute intervals. Stir between intervals until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal or wooden spoon. Note: mixture will expand in measuring cup when it is close to being fully cooked. Because I used apricot jam and cornstarch, my batch took 4 minutes.
5.Cool to room temperature, pour into sterilized 8 ounce half pint mason jar. and refrigerate until fully set about 4 hours. Peach curd will continue to set as it chills. Store curd in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
6.Serve on pancakes, biscuits, scones, tart filling, between cake layers, and poultry or pork dishes.
Notes
If you do not have a blender you can use a hand immersion blender to puree the peaches. Also if fresh peaches are not available, frozen or canned peaches and apricots can be used, just thaw and drain juices before pureeing.
Note: Some peaches like white pulp will make your curd not as peach colored. For this recipe I used yellow cling Georgia Organic peaches.
