Description

One of the best things you can do with rhubarb: Rhubarb Curd! Great so use in many bakes and desserts… or you just eat it with some plain cookies. So good!


Ingredients

Scale

10.6 oz. (300g) rhubarb (red), cleaned and cut into small pieces
1.8 oz. (50g) raspberries
23 tbsp. water
2.8 oz. (80g) xylitol (or sugar)
1 pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 medium eggs
2.1 oz. (60g) butter
23 tsp. freeze-dried dragon fruit powder* (optional)
alternatively some freeze-dried raspberry powder* or pink food color


Instructions

1. Clean the rhubarb and cut into small pieces. Add together with the raspberries, water, and 1 tablespoon of the xylitol (or sugar) to a small pot. Gently heat up until the rhubarb starts to break down – let cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Stir often so nothing burns. You want all the rhubarb pieces and raspberries turned into a mushy blob. Depending on the color of the rhubarb stalks you used this will actually look pretty much like greenish puke – but it smells much better ;P

2. Remove from the heat and purée the rhubarb with an immersion blender until very smooth. Mix in the remaining sugar, salt, and vanilla extract and let cool down for about 5 minutes.

3. When the rhubarb has cooled down a bit, add the eggs and mix until very well combined. Place the pot back on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Let it cook/bubble for a minute or so until the curd has thickened nicely. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. You want it melted completely and well incorporated. Add the freeze-dried dragon fruit powder, freeze-dried raspberry powder, or some pink food color to get a nice pinkish rhubarb curd (optional but recommended). Let cool down – stir occasionally, so you won’t get skin on top of the rhubarb curd. When cooled, press through a fine mesh sieve (optional) and then transfer the curd to clean mason jars. Place in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours before using it. The rhubarb curd should last at least 1 week when stored in the fridge.
