Cranberry Curd
"This is straight out of "How to Be a Domestic Goddess," though I'd love to take credit for it. It's so delicious. Admittedly, it makes way too much; I usually make a half-batch. I especially like this as a topping for Italian cheesecake. Yum!"

I used to have a recipe like this but misplaced it. I am thrilled to find it again. I spoon it on the bottom of a baked pie shell and top it with a cream cheese mixture that is lightened with whipped topping. Thanks for posting, I won't lose it this time. -
This curd is just beautiful! The color and consistency are fabulous. But the flavor is the winner, here. So thrilled that we had frozen cranberries in the freezer! Will definitely be making this one again!! -
Great color, flavor is not to strong. Thickened up nicely.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
