Thursday Cottage is not just a cosy, made-up name on a jam-pot - it's a real cottage where their delicious range of jams, marmalades and curds were first produced.
Curds are a particularly English concoction of fruit, sugar, eggs (fresh pasteurized free range) and pure country butter.
The mixture is gently cooked in a double-boiler to create a range of rich, creamy confections. They are delicious on bread, toast or scones and useful for making puddings.
Berry, Curd & Cream Dream Dessert
8 oz. whipping cream
1 jar lemon curd
berries of choice (I prefer blueberries with lemon curd!)
