Another Sunday evening and another batch of home made lemon curd 🙂
Always a pleasant thing to produce - since it's so very simple! And it smells fabulous too!

@Berrybunchfamily How do you use lemon curd? I haven't been familiar with it, but bought some one time out of curiousity. We spread it on slices of bread. It was delicious. However, I'm not sure how it's normally used. I'm also interested in how it's made.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 this one is with jam instead of lemon curd...lemon curd isn't used any more, but when I read up on it, it used to be
Jo is from the county of Devon, and the cream always goes on first. Cornwall has jam first then the cream... Cornwall is the county next to Devon and this makes for quite a bit of rivalry lol
I married Jo, so learned to do it properly with the cream going on first 😂
@Cherishingsparrows2020 the recipe we use
We substituted lemons for oranges. I guess you could use limes too: lime curd is certainly a 'thing' over here too.
The orange curd we made was nice, but not so popular. worked fine though 🙂
@Cherishingsparrows2020 I realise, now, that I didn't convert it to US measurements...for example castor sugar is called superfine sugar, I believe
@Berrybunchfamily Thank you. I'm not familiar with castor sugar, so this info is helpful.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 just as you do - spread it on bread or toast, that's what we do
Traditionally it was part of an English Cream Tea; you'd spread it on scones (biscuits?) With clotted cream (very thick cream)
I'll photo the recipe for you.
