Lemon Curd

Hey everyone, it is Drew, welcome to my recipe site. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a distinctive dish, lemon curd. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Lemon Curd is one of the most well liked of recent trending foods in the world. It is appreciated by millions daily. It’s easy, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look fantastic. Lemon Curd is something which I have loved my whole life.

Keep the rest of the recipe and instructions the same. Lemon Curd is a thick, soft, and velvety cream that has a deliciously tart yet sweet citrus flavor. While traditionally it was used as a spread for scones, it also makes a delicious filling or topping for tarts.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook lemon curd using 12 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Lemon Curd:
  1. Prepare 6 medium sized lemons,
  2. Make ready 8 egg yolks
  3. Get 1 whole egg
  4. Take 1 cup sugar
  5. Prepare 1 good pinch of sea salt flakes
  6. Take 1 1/2 stick unsalted butter , in small pieces
  7. Prepare What you will also need
  8. Prepare 3 cup hot water
  9. Take 1 tsp white vinegar
  10. Take 3 cup (28 oz.) capacity jar -something between a pint jar and a quart jar.
  11. Make ready 1 wax paper disk, or small piece plastic wrap
  12. Take 1 cellophane jar cover and elastic or lid to fit the jar

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. 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.

Steps to make Lemon Curd:
  1. Heat oven to 200C
  2. Wash jar and put it in the oven (without its lid) for 10-20 minutes
  3. Carefully remove it from the oven and set it aside.
  4. 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.
  5. Dry the lemons, then zest them and then juice them (you will use both)
  6. In a medium saucepan, whisk the eggs and sugar lightly.
  7. Put the pan on a medium low heat, and add the juice and zest, followed by the butter and salt
  8. Bring it up to a simmer and stir it with the whisk until it thickens up (about 15-20 minutes)
  9. Pour it through a sieve with quite a wide mesh into a jug, then pour into the jar.
  10. Wipe away any spilt curd, place the wax disk on top wax side down, then set aside to cool.
  11. Add the lid or cellophane cover, a label (if you want) and refridgerate until cold.
  12. Will keep for two weeks in the fridge.

Lemon curd is a popular condiment for afternoon tea and is used similarly to jam or custard. It is a sweet, tangy topping with a strong lemon taste (much stronger than, say, a lemon custard). There's nothing quite like a simple, zesty, homemade lemon curd. 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.
