ALL NATURAL FRUIT CURDS
AN AGE-OLD TRADITION FOR A WHOLE NEW AGE!
(Spokane, WA....) Sticky Fingers Bakeries Specialty Foods, Inc., leading manufacturer of just-add-water English scone mixes, brownie mixes, and bread mixes, as well as a superb selection of all natural fruit curds and jams, would like to share the good news-Sticky Fingers' sweet and creamy all natural fruit curds are more than just a spread! The versatility of our handcrafted fruit curds adds a touch of elegance to a wide variety of quick and easy, semi-from scratch, gourmet delicious recipes! "We received our wonderful fruit curds recipe from my mom," states Ted Vogelman, cofounder of Sticky Fingers Bakeries. "She was born in England, where tea time is an age-old tradition, and she grew up making English scones and fruit curds from scratch. We have honored that tradition by not changing a thing. Unlike most commercial brands, our fruit curds are handmade in small batches, and they contain only natural fruit flavors, whole eggs, sugar, and citrus, no additives whatsoever. So simple, yet so good. Thick, creamy and intensely flavorful, our traditional fruit curds have inspired some not so traditional gourmet recipes that will delight the most sophisticated palette." Sticky Fingers Bakeries offers three luscious flavors—Lemon Curd, with a smooth lemon- meringue flavor that just wraps around your tongue. Cranberry Curd, a pink, custard-like curd with a sweet/tart surprise. Orange Curd, which is so flavorful and fragrant, it just screams, "Orange!" NOT SO TRADITIONAL FRUIT CURD RECIPES Sticky Lemon Curd Chicken:
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
1 cup Sticky Fingers Lemon Curd
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 lemon zest
2 scallions
Cut the chicken into chunks and lightly coat with flour and a dash of salt. Add oil and chicken to a large skillet and heat until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and scrape out any drippings, then add chicken stock and lemon curd to skillet and whisk lightly until blended. Add the browned chicken back to the skillet and simmer the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken pieces have cooked through. Remove from heat and add the scallions and lemon zest, then toss until all of the ingredients are evenly coated with sauce. Serve on a bed of brown or wild rice.
Sticky Fruit Curd Trifle:
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh blackberries - or one large bag of frozen mixed berries
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
8 ounces Sticky Fingers Lemon Curd or Orange Curd, chilled
1 prepared and sliced lemon pound cake or packaged individual sponge cakes (3 inch)
1/4 cup almond liqueur or Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)
1/4 cup sliced almonds or fresh mint leaves
In a saucepan, heat the berry mixture and liqueur until the berries are warm, then let cool. In a mixing bowl, gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled lemon or orange curd until it becomes a light mousse texture. In a glass trifle bowl, place one layer of cake, then spoon a layer of the curd mousse over the cake, and then spoon in a layer of mixed berries over the curd mousse. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used up. Garnish with your choice of fresh mint or almonds. Chill before serving.
Sticky Curd and Mustard Sauce:
1 rounded tablespoon Sticky Fingers Lemon Curd
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon style mustard
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
In a small bowl, combine lemon curd, vinegar and mustard, using a whisk, then whisk in olive oil in a slow stream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ideal with seafood or pork.
Sticky Curd and Yogurt Sauce:
12 ounces low-fat vanilla yogurt
6 ounces Sticky Fingers Lemon, Orange or Cranberry Curd
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
In a small bowl, gently fold ingredients together and chill. A perfect topping for fruit, shortcake, or cobbler. And during the holidays, try Cranberry Curd and Yogurt Sauce with your Thanksgiving dinner!
