AUTUMN LEMON CURD


Life gave me lemons so I made lemon curd...

If your planting a lemon tree or you have a friend who has a Meyer lemon tree, thank your lucky stars! These soft skinned and surprisingly juicy lemons are perfect for lemon curd.



"When eating a fruit, Think of the person who planted the tree" - Vietnamese Proverb





Ingredients:

Juice & zest of 3 or 4 lemons 
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of butter
4 egg yolks


Step 1 - Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan on low to medium heat. Add the butter and heat slowly until the butter melts.

Step 2 - Juice and zest the lemons to make 1 cup of lemon juice. Wait until the butter has melted to add the lemon juice and zest. Stir -  It takes about 10 minutes for it to thicken up and stirring is good. Let it cool & thicken and serve.


Hint#  serve generous dollop of curd onto a mirangue and drizzle with passionfruit pulp.
