Why is homemade Lemon Curd

Recommended Posts

so irresistable? :shock: I've made some this morning, supposed to be for presents but, once it was potted up I confess to eating the mixing bowl s"Ooops, word censored!"ings and it just tasts SO divine. Now I am loathe to give the rest away. :lol:

 

 

I used delias recipe, although I do mine in a double boiler, rather than straight into a saucepan as per her instructions;I've had too many batches catch in a saucepan.

 

I've made a couple of different types of jam too. But, I am still looking for inspiration for a couple of other, easy/fast things to make. Anyone got any idea? :D

oh I wish you were my next door neighbour....YUM home made lemon curd... i'm not brave enough to try it!!

 

I'm going to assume you mean to try and make it :lol:

 

Seriously it is VERY simple but the taste is out of this world. Take a look at Delias recipe, and if you follow that, but, use a double boiler (or a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water) it won't catch on the bottom. It takes longer for it to thicken but its SO worth it. Trust me, if I can make it and get it consistantly right it has to be easy. Go on...

I don't know about sweet things, but chilli jam is quick and easy, I've got the recipe written down here.

I'm also going to try and make some jars of preserved garlic cloves, the recipe can be found here.

Not sure if these are what you were after, but they're definitely quick and easy! :D
