Any Jam Curd
170g of any flavour jam or jelly
50g water
10g cornflour (if your jam is runny use 12g)
1 large egg
80g butter
A squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of sharpness

Stir about half the water into the cornflour to make a runny paste.

Put the jam or jelly in a heavy based pan and add the remaining water. Warm gently until the jam mostly dissolves, then you can sieve out any fruit pieces if you want smooth curd, or leave them in.

Whisk the egg until it is thoroughly broken down and blended (so there are no stringy bits) and then whisk it into the cornflour mix. Add to the warm jam - be sure the jam is not hot or the cornflour will likely go lumpy.

Put on a medium heat and keep stirring until the curd thickens and the cornflour is cooked (about 5 minutes). Stir in the lemon juice (I used 2 teaspoons).

Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until combined. I found it combined better when I put the pan back over a low heat.

Seal in a sterilised jar and refrigerate when cold.
