Best ways to enjoy curd – Besides eating it by the spoonful straight out the jar!
To celebrate the news that Highfield and Marks & Spencer have partnered up in 113 stores, we bring you the best ways to enjoy curd. You can find exactly where to find our new Passion Fruit Curd here: https://highfieldpreserves.co.uk/highfield-curd-marks-and-spencer/
The ways to enjoy curd are endless. A good curd should be beautifully mouth-watering. An English favourite with a touch of the tropical. A wonderful ingredient carrying a great deal of punchy flavour. Our Lemon Curd and Passion Fruit curd are velvety, tangy lemon & passion fruit heaven.
As always, it really is each to their own and I am sure we may have missed some of your favourite ways to enjoy curd out.
My personal favourite thing to do with curd is to add it to cake mix as a replacement for some of the sugar and butter. Whether it is Passion Fruit or Lemon curd it just seems to take the finished cake to a new level. Curd and cake just seem to go together wonderfully well. You can even go a step further and add it to the icing on the cake for more fruit curd goodness! Also, instead of frosting between layers of cake try curd.
Of course, there is your bread and butter use for curd (pun very much intended). Spread on toast, scones or crumpets for a lovely breakfast or snack. While on the subject of breakfast try stirring passion fruit curd into your morning porridge. Top with berries, and you’re on your way to a sensational start to the day. Stir into yoghurt for an instant boost and fantastic results. Dollop on ice cream to make your ice cream extra tasty.
If you are making pancakes you could warm up some lemon curd and drizzle over pancakes as a replacement for maple syrup. You could also use some curd as a pancake filling.
Looking at slightly more creative ways to enjoy a curd you could make a lemon bar using lemon curd. It can be packed into lunch boxes, served at a party or even given away as a gift. To make this versatile sweet snack, make a shortbread base by whizzing 5 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, ¾ cup flour in a food processor until it looks a little like breadcrumbs. Collect dough into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes. After that, pat the dough into a square tin and bake for 30 minutes at 175 degrees C. Once the crust is cooled, spread the lemon curd generously and refrigerate for a few hours. Cut it into small squares and serve.

The Traditional Cream Tea – Is it jam then cream or cream then jam?
The age-old debate. One of Great Britain’s oldest traditions, the Traditional Cream Tea. Which is the best way to make a Traditional Cream Tea? Is it Cream then Jam? Jam then Cream? Or does it just not matter? Either way, just to make sure we are all on the same page before we get into this, we’ll make some things clear. A Devonshire Cream Tea consists of clotted cream spread on the bottom of a scone with a nice big dollop of strawberry jam on top. A Cornish Cream Tea consists of Jam spread on the bottom with a dollop of clotted cream on top.

Happy New Year! – From all of us at Highfield Preserves
2016 is now officially in the history books. A year that will be forever remembered as the year Britain voted to leave the European Union and the year the United States of America voted for Donald Trump as their new President. It was a year full of surprises and events that nobody could have predicted at the start of 2016. Now here we are at the start of 2017. A time to reflect and learn from what has happened in the last year and a time to look ahead to what is in store in 2017.
