Step 4
Combine sugar, seedless strawberry purée, and eggs. Mix well. The mixture will lose some of its color. The strawberry mixture will become lighter. Unfortunately, store-bought curd often contains food coloring to make it more visually appealing. Genuine homemade curd is pale but natural.

Step 5
Place everything over low heat and, quickly whisking (without stopping for even a minute), bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat at the first sign of bubbles. The curd will thicken, but a spoon will not stand upright in it, of course.

Step 6
Serve the curd to the table. It has a jam-like consistency. This curd is traditionally served with pancakes, cheese pancakes, poured over ice cream, or used as a topping for small fried pancakes. The curd can be eaten as a dessert.
