Fruit Fillings Recipe ⇒ Raspberry Curd

This delicious raspberry curd is quick and easy to make. Adjust the sweetness to your taste. Add more sugar if you like it sweet or less for a tarter taste. This curd is a great topping for cheesecakes or as a filling in cakes.

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 2 (6 ounce) containers fresh raspberries
• 6 egg yolks, beaten
• ¾ cup white sugar
