Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the cranberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
  2. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add in the eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Slowly pour in the cranberry mixture while whisking constantly to create the curd.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the pie crust until lightly golden brown.
  6. Pour the cranberry curd into the pie crust and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until set.
  7. Let cool before serving. Enjoy your Cranberry Curd Tart!
