i don't know i've never heard of it but i think you would want to cook the cherries down and food process and strain and get a nice smooth substance of it and go from there possibly? i would say thicken with cornstarch or tapioca flour or something add some almond extract a little sugar perhaps a drop of lemon -- but of course a curd is with eggs -- i'd go with the microwave recipe from king arthur & just sub out the lemon & sub in the cherry:

just a wild guess -- but for a worthy cause -- it sounds unbearably wonderful
best to you
ps. please give an update on how it goes for you ![]()
i've never cooked cherries down like this so this is all pure guessing
I've had pretty good success using the Epicurious recipe below as a base for fruit puree curds.
I had always made "juice" curds...lemon, lime etc., but when I tried this one - which is delicious - I thought it might be a starting point for other fruit.
Not completely sure about the science, but I *think* you have to be sure to have some acid to help. In the nectarine recipe they use lime. I've done raspberry puree with lemon juice as the acid. Just use a compatible acid. I had nice luck with mango orange puree and lemon juice.
The recipe multiplies well 2x, 3x etc. so it's a great way to use up yolks!
My only gripe about the recipe is that it's hard to know how much puree "1 firm-ripe medium nectarine" is. But, my scribble notes say a bit less than 1/2 Cup. So that's about what I use for other fruit purees.

Here were some lemon, lime and raspberry tartlets from a party.
