Inspired by a post a friend wrote on Facebook ages ago, I made lemon curd in order to use up a couple of left over lemons. I'd never made it before, but it was very successful. I think I will be making it again.
@Dewines share please
(i have had recipes with lemon curd, but also I will eat it straight from the jar)
@Cantras It ended up very much like the best shop bought lemon curd, though I may try a bit less sugar next time. I used a recipe from Mrs Beeton for quantities. Friend's recipe off the internet had 90g of sugar for 2 lemons rather than the 225g I used. Possibly try somewhere in between?
@Cantras I used 2 lemons, 2 eggs, 2 oz of butter and 8 oz of sugar. Method: Zest & squeeze lemons. Put zest in large bowl with butter in small pieces, the sugar and all the juice. Microwave in 30 sec bursts, stirring between, till it's all melted. Beat eggs in a second bowl, then mix a bit of the butter/sugar/citrus mixture back in with the eggs and then combine everything. Then microwave, again in 30 sec bursts, whisking in between, until it thickens. Ladle into clean jars.
