A nice simple and sweet recipe for everyone’s favourite jam. I remember eating lemon curd at my Great Grandparents after school when I was young. My granddad would watch horse racing and smoke his pipe while my Nana made me jam sandwiches, tea and a bourbon biscuit. This recipe makes one jar (2 lemons a jar, I would say).
What You Need:
2 Lemons (rind and juice), 2 whole eggs, 2 egg yolks, 150g preserve sugar, 100g unsalted butter.
First whisk the eggs and sugar until combined. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the egg mixture and the lemon juice and rind. On a low heat, keep stirring the yellow sweetness until thick, take off the heat and cool. Put the mixture in a nice sterilised recycled jar, store in the refrigerator. You could also try the recipe with limes, cranberries or tangerines for delectable variety.
Simple and Sweet, Lemon Curd-tastic.

I’ll bookmark yours to try for when I can find some more unwaxed lemons :0)
Thanks for the comment.
The Delia recipe is good but I think cornflower is not really needed as the preserve sugar makes it thick enough (^-^)
I really like it and need to try it one day.
Sounds good, some good recipes on here!

This sounds sooo lovely! It seems fairly simple and yet, still completely intimidating when I think about making it. Truly a sign that I should! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Yrs,

Your recipes look great, I love lemon curd!
I lived in South Korea, too, and have now been back in Canada for two years. I miss Korea! Can’t wait to see your Korean recipes.
Best wishes.
Ah, I’ve been looking for a good lemon curd recipe, I will definitely have to try this one. I used to work for a pastry chef who went to the French Culinary Institute and her lemon curd was out of this world! Sadly I lost the recipe to it though, been looking for once since!
