yummy! January 10, 2007

I’ve just made my first batch of lemon curd, and it’s yummy! I had three lemons leftover from youth group on sunday (we were tasting lemons as an activity to identify with the bitter moments of 2006). So, I looked at making lemon ice cream and lemon sorbet, but decided it was the wrong time of year for both of those. So a quick look for lemon recepies and I ended up making lemon curd. Really easy, and it doesn’t take too long.
For one jam jar and a ramekin’s worth (we only had one spare jam jar!), just mix the grated rind and juice of 3 lemons, 3 eggs, 3oz butter and 12oz sugar in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Keep stirring for about 20 mins until it covers the back of a wooden spoon. Put into jars (and ramekin if you’re me) and let it cool. Refridgerate and eat within a month!
