Lemon Curd
Do you know if there’s a Lemon Curd Addicts Anonymous treatment group?
Even thought I didn’t follow it seeing how simple her recipe was convinced me I had to try it. So I found four or five recipes, combined what I liked from them and tried it out.
I can’t believe I’ve lived this long without having eaten a big spoonful of lemon curd, or toasty buttery bread with lemon curd or puff pastry filled with cream cheese and lemon curd…
My mouth is watering.
Lemon Curd
Makes about two cups
Melt butter, add zest and juice, let cool to luke warm so it won’t scramble the eggs.
Then strain it through a fine mesh strainer, use a spoon or whisk to stir the curd so it will strain faster. You want to use the finest strainer you have so all the zest, any stray seeds or curdled egg gets removed. If you skip this part your curd won’t be nice and smooth like it should be.

OH MY WORD. Emily, I am in love with lemon curd! I am going to make this tonight to make my lemon chicken instead of the curd I usually buy at the store. Pinned!

hmmm, lemon curd used to cook chicken? Do tell! Let me know how it goes 🙂

I’ll be posting about the recipe shortly, but the idea is that the curd forms the base for a sauce that’s briefly heated with vinegar and lemon juice, then mixed with cubed, cooked chicken. It’s so good! I’m actually getting ready to make the curd right now 🙂
