Instructions 

  • Put the blueberries, thyme, lemon juice and a teaspoon of water into a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes until the fruit is very soft.
  • Remove from the heat and push the fruit through a sieve set over a bowl to extract as much juice as possible.
  • Put the butter, sugar, vanilla extract and blueberry juice into a pan and heat until the butter has fully melted. Then remove from the heat and let the mixture cool down slightly before adding the beaten eggs.
  • Return to the heat and keep stirring for 20 – 25 minutes until thickened. The mixture will thicken further once cooled down.
    I prefer to strain through a sieve once thickened just to remove any lumps.
  • Whip the cream until soft peak stage. Add the blueberry curd to the cream (reserving some curd for decoration) and mix well.
  • Pour into the tart cases and smooth the tops. The recipe for shortcrust tarts you finde here.
