the Curd Herd

The Inside Scoop on the Curd Herd

Last weekend saw us attend the Aldeburgh Food & Drink show, where the weather was wonderful and we saw many a Taste Buddy!

Everyone that tried them, loved our curds- did you know that they’ve each won an award for great taste?

However, we were asked multiple times about how one could use them, so we decided to give you a handful of ideas to wet your appetite!

Passionfruit & Lemon Curd

Whip a jar of our Passionfruit & Lemon curd into some cream cheese and spread evenly onto a biscuit base before chilling.

Now that the nights are drawing in, crumble season starts!

Try mixing up an old classic by dolloping our Toffee Apple curd on top of the apples before you sprinkle on your crumble for a decadent winter pud.

Curds aren’t just for spreading onto toast!

You can give your breakfasts a little more pizzazz with any of our curds, by adding a spoonful to Greek yogurt & granola, or on top of porridge!

 

Zesty Orange Curd
