I am making a batch of lemon curd tomorrow, but think for the numder of request I have that I will need to make a double batch.

 

So, has anyone ever just doubled the quantaties of the basice recipe that we all use, & was it a success?

I know in theory it should be fine,but often doubling a recipe doesn't work as well.......

 

Any input gratefully recieved

I have doubled the Nigella recipe that Kate posted, Sarah - it was fine.......my arm ached by the end of it though

[Mrs Frugal]

I've doubled it, halved it, quartered it and even thirded (is there such a word ) and it works every time, Sarah.

[Omletina Kyckling]

Yep, I'm with the others on this, I've doubled and halved the Nigella one, and it's been fine!

I dble it up every time I make it and it's fine

[Cinnamon]

Brilliant, thank you.

 

Next question - how long will it keep in sterilized sealed jars?

I know it neede keeping in a fridge after opening,but I am assuming its fine out of the fridge if the jar is sealed?

[Mrs Frugal]

I opened a jar of my August batch of lemon curd on Monday and it was fresh as a daisy. I'd sealed it when it was hot so the jar made a satisfying pop when opened. I keep all my jars, open or sealed in the fridge for safety.

[Cinnamon]

Thanks.

These are for my hampers, so I can't keep them in the fridge.

Theres no room in there anyhow at the moment

[Mrs Frugal]

Do you have anywhere cold for them to go such as the garage? I put all my stuff in our unheated conservatory in winter. It doubles as a huge fridge .

[Guest]

for the farmers' market we put a use by date on them of 2 months from the date made and advise that they're kept (unopened) in the fridge or a cool place and once opened, to be kept in the fridge.

ditto! all the booze is in there at the moment, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[BarbaraJ]

Same here , lovely big fridges !

[Mrs Frugal]

Couldn't be better at Christmas time when there is so much food to keep cold, could it . I use the conservatory to make really well risen bread dough and get demijohns of wine and cider fermenting well in summer too so it works hard for me all year round

We have a downstairs spare bedroom where the underfloor heating doesn't work - better than our conservatory as Carl is always putting the heater on in there. I keep all my preserves in the spare bedroom.
