Luscious Raspberry Curd

Directions

1. 1
   Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add in the raspberries, egg yolks, sugar, and salt.
2. 2
   Cook, mashing the berries and stirring frequently at first and then constantly at the end, until thickened-about 10 minutes.
3. 3
   Pour the mixture through a coarse strainer set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
4. 4
   Cool to room temperature; the curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
5. 5
   Stir in lemon juice, to taste.
6. 6
   Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve, or up to 1 month.
