A seasonal curd from the same old recipe book.

APPLE CURD

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs of tart apples
1 gill of water
2 eggs
3/4lb sugar
1/8 teaspoonful of ground ginger
1/4lb butter

1. Peel, core and slice the apples.
2. Simmer gently in the water until they are thoroughly cooked.
3. Beat until smooth, then add the sugar, beaten eggs, and butter.
4. Blend all the ingredients thoroughly and stir over a gentle heat until the eggs thicken. Do not allow to boil.
5. Add the ginger.
6. Pot and cover immediately.

N.B. As apple curd does not keep very well, it should be made in small quantities when required.
