To prepare jars, thoroughly wash jars and lids in hot, soapy water. Rinse by pouring over boiling water. Prepare for filling, if needed, by placing on a clean tea towel in a roasting tin and heating in the oven at 100˚C until required.

Use as a filling for pastries, doughnuts, cakes and biscuits, and for Maritozzi.

If you cannot find already roasted hazelnuts, you can toast them before preparation. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Spread the hazelnuts on the oven tray and toast them in a hot oven for 10 minutes (160°C). Allow them to cool slightly before using.

You can store berry curd in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
