Lemon Curd

Lemon Curd

Lemon Curd is delicious on all sorts of things. Toast, waffles, crepes, sandwiched between 2 layers of cake...the list goes on. It's easy to make and this recipe is simpler than a lot of others as it doesn't use a double boiler.

It keeps well in a sterilised jar and even freezes pretty well. I think it loses a little bit of it's silkiness, but nothing major. It also makes a lovely gift.


Lemon Curd
makes about 3 cups

6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
90g unsalted butter
3 tsp grated lemon zest
150ml lemon juice


Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan until well combined but not frothy. Add butter, lemon zest and juice. Stirring constantly, bring to simmering point over medium heat (about five minutes).

As soon as bubbles begin to appear, remove from heat, still stirring. If your curd has little eggy chunks in it, pass the curd through a sieve. Transfer to sterilised jars and allow to cool.

Every now and then I find that the curd doesn't go as thick as I would like. It does thicken on cooling, but if you find that once cool, it's still a bit runny, thicken it up with some cornflour. Add a little cornflour to a pan and blend in a bit of the curd. When combined, add the rest of the curd and then heat up over medium heat until just boiling, stirring constantly.

  6. Hi! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a large amount
    of work? I am completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
    I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

  10. I rarely drop responses, however i did a few searching and wound up
    here "Lemon Curd". And I actually do have a few questions for you
    if you do not mind. Could it be just me or does it look like some of these responses come across as if they are written by brain dead people?
    :-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I'd like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of all of your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
