Heirloom Beets, Meyer Lemon Curd, Black Garlic

What does heirloom mean: Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated, meaning that unlike hybrids, seeds are collected from one year will produce plants with most of the characteristics of the parent plant.

Meyer Lemon Curd
200g sugar
3 Meyer lemons zested
250g Meyer lemon juice
3 whole eggs
250g cold sour butter
6g salt

Mix the sugar, zest juice and eggs in a small pot and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently so the mixture doesn’t burn.  Don’t be afraid when it curdles, it’s just fine. Remove the pot from the heat source and let stand untouched for 5 minutes. With an immersion blender blend in the cold butter and salt until the mixture is emulsified. Pass the Meyer lemon mixture through a chinois then cover with plastic and chill overnight. It will be thick and read to use in any application you imagine.
