start by weighing out your egg yolks into a medium sized mixing bowl. Depending on where you get your eggs, the yolk size may be different. I get my eggs from a local farm. They're gigantic! Going by weight allows you to be more consistent in the end product. Whisk in your sugar. make sure it's all combined before adding the remaining ingredients except the butter. If you're making a tart or pie, don't forget the gelatin. set up a pot of simmering water on the stove. Place the mixing bowl over the simmering water creating a steam bath, or double boiler. Whisk until the mixture just starts to warm up. While continuing to whisk, add the butter one cube at a time. Continue adding the butter and whisking until it's all been incorporated. Now if you're just making the curd to be spread on various items, you can pour it into a container, or into mason jars for canning later. If you're moving onto making a tart, you're going to want to pour the curd containing the gelatin into your already prepared tart or pie shell. Allow to rest covered and refrigerated for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight so it can fully set up. once it's had time to rest, top with some fresh berries and some whipped cream. Sit outside, and watch the sunset while eating your tart, pie, or the crackers you've spread your curd on. What ever way you choose to eat it, a nice summer ale and someone to share it all with, goes very well together.
