Lemon curd isn't hard to make from scratch! The reward is a spread that's smooth, creamy, sweet, and tart. Lemon curd is great in cakes or pies, spread on scones, or licked right off the spoon. There's nothing quite like a simple, zesty, homemade lemon curd.
Instructions to make Lemon Curd:
- Heat oven to 200C
- Wash jar and put it in the oven (without its lid) for 10-20 minutes
- Carefully remove it from the oven and set it aside.
- Pour hot water over the lemons in a large bowl, add the vinegar and let stand for 30 seconds. This is to remove any wax or detritus from the lemon skin, and releases more juice from the lemons.
- Dry the lemons, then zest them and then juice them (you will use both)
- In a medium saucepan, whisk the eggs and sugar lightly.
- Put the pan on a medium low heat, and add the juice and zest, followed by the butter and salt
- Bring it up to a simmer and stir it with the whisk until it thickens up (about 15-20 minutes)
- Pour it through a sieve with quite a wide mesh into a jug, then pour into the jar.
- Wipe away any spilt curd, place the wax disk on top wax side down, then set aside to cool.
- Add the lid or cellophane cover, a label (if you want) and refridgerate until cold.
- Will keep for two weeks in the fridge.
Perfect on toast, scones, hot buttered crumpets or rippled through ice cream. Fruit curd is a dessert spread and topping usually made with citrus fruit, such as lemon, lime, orange, or tangerine. Other flavor variations include passion fruit, mango, and berries such as raspberries, cranberries or blackberries. I haven't made Lemon Curd yet, but I'm puzzled by comments about the cooked eggs. To keep the eggs from cooking, just mix the butter and sugar together, creaming them just as you would when.
