Can I make I confession?
I don’t really like lemon curd. There. I said it. I can feel all of the glares now.
I know a lot of you love lemon treats, but for me, it’s not a favorite of mine. Sure, I love lemon poppy seed loaves, frozen strawberry lemonade, lemon muffins, and lemon cakes. I also love lemon in savory dishes (this asparagus or those green beans and that soup ). But lemon meringue pie, lemon curd, or anything with a lemon custard filling just doesn’t appeal to me. I think it’s because the lemon flavor is too strong, and I prefer it to just flavor the batter of a cake, cupcake, or loaf.
So I guess it doesn’t come as a surprise that I skipped the ever-so popular lemon curd and made a Raspberry Grapefruit Curd instead. With no lemon in sight, the raspberries and grapefruit take over as the star of the show!

Raspberry Grapefruit Curd
Ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) container fresh raspberries
- ½ cup ruby red grapefruit juice juice from about 1 grapefruit
- ½ cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ruby red grapefruit zest
- Pinch of salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Puree the raspberries and grapefruit juice in a blender.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan, pusing in through with a rubber spatula. Rinse the sieve and set aside.
- Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, grapefruit zest, and salt into the raspberry puree. Whisk in the egg yolks.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it's thick like pudding, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until incorporated.
- Strain the mixture through the sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a rubber spatula.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely set, at least for 4 hours, and up to 5 days.
