I have been given a jar of ginger curd which tastes wonderful but what do I do with it.Any ideas please

"This intense, silky curd is an ideal companion to freshly-baked bread or as a filling for croissants and crepes, and its spicy flavour wonderfully offsets the cloying creaminess of cheesecake or ice-cream."

Ginger curd sounds amazing. I have never heard of it.
I'm going to look up some recipes.

I can taste it folded through whipped cream in a chocolate eclair.Yum.

That sounds fab.
Anyone have a tried and tested recipe! I want to make some.

Isn't it lemon curd with ginger added!

100g sugar(jam sugar)
,2 large eggs plus 2 yolks,
50ml syrup from a jar of stem ginger
,7-8 pieces stem ginger chopped
finely,juice of 1 lemon strained
Method
Slowly melt butter, sugar & add beaten eggs.
Stir in the syrup, ginger pieces & lemon.
Stir constantly till it combines and thickens.
Pour into prepared jars and seal tightly.
The curd will thicken as it cools.

I have some stem ginger in the fridge.

Thanks Pam.
Would be best to do it in a double boiler like lemon honey, wouldn't it!

best way to do it.
Was given a jar of stemmed ginger for Christmas and wanted to get the best use out of it so made this
May have to get some more stem ginger and make some more, now.

Might try it with crystallised ginger.

I have just made this, but with lime juice.

It is divine!
For a treat I will make some mini tartlets and fill them and add dark choc ganache.
pam.delilah, Jul 7, 7:04am
yum , yum, yum. Great idea with the lime juice. Must compliment the ginger nicely ,not to mention the dark choc, .
