Lemon curd

**Laurab21** · 22nd July, 2012

Mmmm so amazing

1/3rd cup of fresh lemon juice
rind of 1 lemon
1 egg
4 - 5 tbsps of sweetener

Warm the juice and rind in a pan.
Whisk the egg and sweetener in a bowl.
Once the juice is warm - slowly (Very) drizzle the juice into the egg whisking all the time. Do this slowly or you will get scrambled egg!
Whisk for 1 minute and then return to the pan.
Heat the mixture stirring all the time until it thickens and coats a wooden spoon.
Put in an airtight container and store in the fridge (if it makes it there!!)

hmmm yum. I guess the small amount on the bread or muffin wouldn't mean much in the way of fruit usage LOL, liking the idea. x

Totally agree

I made some meringues the other week, first time ever I got the consistency of the whites right, but don't think I added enough sweetner, they were awfully plain and had turned golden in colour....think i left them in too long.

I found a simple recipe for meringue...if I find it again, I will post it :-)

So I made this, and I knew there was no way I was going to muck with making meringue so I whacked it into a tub of quark and froze it. Brilliant lemon ice cream!! Thanks for posting

Reading everyone's comments about how addictive this is, I'm too scared try it!!
