Lemon curd is a luscious, tangy spread that pairs beautifully with a variety of baked goods, from scones to tarts. With just a handful of ingredients and some simple steps, you can make this delightful condiment at home. Follow this easy recipe to create your own smooth and zesty lemon curd.
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but it won't deliver the same vibrant taste.
- Use a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl over simmering water to gently heat the mixture. This prevents the eggs from curdling and ensures a smooth texture.
- Constant stirring is key. This helps to combine the ingredients smoothly and avoids any lumps or curdling.
- Strain the lemon curd through a fine mesh sieve after cooking to remove any bits of cooked egg and ensure a silky smooth texture.
- Store the lemon curd in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to two weeks.
Making lemon curd at home is a rewarding experience. Not only do you get to enjoy the fresh, zesty flavor of lemons, but you also have the satisfaction of creating something delicious from scratch. Whether you spread it on toast, fold it into yogurt, or use it as a filling for desserts, homemade lemon curd is a versatile treat that elevates any dish. Enjoy!
