Lemon Curd




I made some lemon curd using Hedgewizard's recipe. Thanks, Hedgie, it's delicious and sooooo easy - you all must try it. Suitable for the preserve-challenged; forget massive cauldrons full of boiling hot jam, special thermometers and getting the whole kitchen covered in sticky goo. The whole process takes about 10 minutes from thinking "Hmm, maybe I'll make some lemon curd" to admiring your finished jar of golden yumminess. Plus it uses ingredients you probably have knocking around anyway - lemons, eggs, sugar, butter and cornflour. Finally, there's no problem with small batches. Just make a single jar if that's all you need.

Recipe for lemon meringue pie coming soon...

Hi Melanie - thanks for sharing Hedgewizard's recipe. I am up for the challenge on my quest to make as many things to reduce supermarket packaging and I am rushing to the cupboards now! Can't wait for the Lemon Meringue recipe, also if you happen to have one for hard meringues, that would be useful too. ;-D

P.S. I really love the hair ~ I've often felt tempted to have purple highlights, but haven't been brave enough yet!

However, it only takes another 10 minutes to be looking at an empty jar, thinking "oops, did I really eat all of that?" and going to get more lemons :)

Lemon Curd Update - well Melanie, thanks to you and Hedgewizard, I have just made my first batch of Lemon Curd. Admittedly it was only a small portion because I only had 1 lemon and the light brown muscovado sugar gave it a bit of a butterscotch edge, but it tastes scrummy and was so easy. Am off to the shops on my bike to get more lemons and sugar, to make a jar of the authentic yellow version.

Butterscotch lemon curd sounds really nice, 21st century mummy.

I've just written up the lemon meringue pie recipe, but now I need to actually make a pie just so I can take a photo of it to go with the blog entry. Life can be cruel sometimes...
