Can you make a curd out of persimmon or mango? I'm sure you can. I found a mango curd recipe on epicurious, but reviews said that it was too lemony. Most curd recipes I have seen have been citrusy or acidic. I bagged and froze 8 cups of persimmon pulp and 8 cups of mango today, and was hoping to maybe try a curd or 2...

I've used this curd quite a bit in the past.

thanks! I made mango tartlets for thanksgiving and they were really good! i didn't have any oranges so I omitted the orange zest. Tasted a lot like fresh mangoes! I think I cooked it a bit too much, but it was still great...especially with a big squirt of whipped cream on top! Thanks again!
