Oh fuck I love paneer so now I like extra need it

And let me tell you I can’t wait to fuck some tart cherries UP in a sick nasty curd when they’re in season

Cranberries are like bracingly tart and acidic so they’re a good candidate without lemon or citric acid - the orange is honestly to mellow them out a bit lmao

Oh dude here

Citric acid makes it possible to use any fruit. Usually you’d throw lemon juice in there to sorta force the chemical reaction for curd to get the right texture but it is a spectacular time to be alive

I love making fruit curds and honestly my next move is to just buy a bag of citric acid so I can make anything into a curd - even fruits that traditionally wouldn’t be acidic enough for the chemical reaction to work >:}

It definitely is I made it once before and suffice to say it disappeared and I felt bad I didn’t make a bigger one lmao

XD right?

Big holiday vibes tbh

Cranberry curd tart!

The tasty stuff in the middle is a silky cranberry orange curd and the crust honestly smells and tastes like a big oatmeal cookie because it’s oat based and has cinnamon in it

By twice cooked I mean in order to make the curd you have to cook down the cranberries with orange juice and zest and then you blend and strain them to get rid of all the solid plant matter like seeds and skins - so you’re bringing it to a warm temp to begin with as opposed to starting with juice

Ahaha I get you!

I am realizing because this is like a twice cooked recipe so you’re kind of already working with higher temperatures so I may have ever so slightly over calculated the amount of time the final bake would need but again it’s splitting hairs tbqh but you know how artists are lmao

I’m going to pipe a cinnamon whipped cream and garnish it with sugared cranberries and candied orange zest so the crack won’t be around for long anyways

There’s an itty bitty crack and I think she’s like the slightest hair over but not enough that anyone would notice but me because I know what to look for 😅

That's where I'm at. I don't really do pre-made lemon juice because it's so easy to just juice a lemon which I generally keep around the house anyway so I'd rather just zest and squeeze them myself and my frequent need honestly justifies the tool.

I never really got how people made those like beautiful citrus peel garnishes and the channel knife on the zester is the answer

Just a really good tool. I stand corrected.

honestly a viable option tbqh

One of the CEOs was caught red handed saying some not great stuff lmao. I'm surprised it's such a story.
