Fruit curds.

Curds are a buttery confection rather than a preserve, made using the juice from the fruit, butter, sugar and eggs. They don't keep well due to the egg content and therefore need to be stored in the refridgerator. However they are delicious and well worth a go especially if you have plenty of eggs to use up.
