This will be in my regular rotation for sure. I've been using the leftover curd in yogurt, on pancakes and on toast. I did have to strain out the egg sediment - even on low, I think my stove runs a little too hot. For the next batch, I put a thumbprint in the cookies and then a dollop of the lemon curd on top after they cooled. I made some tasty lemon cookies but people couldn't tell they were lemon. Can't wait to try it with blood oranges, grapefruit or whatever else is ripe. If you use an immersion blender before cooking, you're less likely to get eggy bits after. Took a one and a half juicy lemons from my garden. *This* is how lemon curd should be! Lemony and tart, not overly sweet and syrupy like a lot of recipes out there (including Ina's whose juice to sugar ratio is 1:3). DELICIOUS! The passion fruit doesn't need as much sugar so will reduce that to maybe a third of a cup next time but, wow. But yesterday, I made passion fruit curd following this recipe using up passion fruit puree (scoop out pulp from passion fruit, pulse in blender couple times, strain out seeds). I am sure that the curd will be good, but I want to make a double batch, would that be a problem as far as the technique of preparing it? I am using Meyer Lemons to make my Lemon Curd. I am not a fan of overly sweet lemon curds. It is a great balance of sweet and tangy. AND it really did take only 20 minutes to make. after all- if you're here for the lemon - why not kick it up? i'll attempt 1/3 cup of sugar to add next time and a miniscule amount of lemon extract to up the ante. have patience and whiskwhiskwhisk that mixture.
a bain marie is essential as i would never attempt a curd just in a pan. as a former pastry chef i find it imperative to strain curds just on the off chance anything not aesthetic will pop it's head into the completed result. i followed many suggestions to add an extra egg yolk to the mix. This is so very easy to make & delicious too. Not only was it a 1,2 3 recipe - it was delicious! I made it for one of 4 toppings for my cheesecake. Thank you to for suggestions (mixing zest with sugar first and beating eggs well first) which I followed and which resulted in a lemony smooth curd. So much better than purchased curd.Ī delicious curd easily made. Why not all egg yolks? Is there an advantage to adding whites? Whole eggs are just so niche easier than separating the yolk. I may try BA method of mixing all at once but I hate to risk expensive ingredients It will help reduce the chance of curdling the egg. Dump in the butter pieces in first to cool it a bit and then dump in the beaten eggs. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved in the juice and zest. I use a double boiler instead of heavy pan and after lots of ratio changes I settled on two eggs four tablespoon of butter and 300 gram of sugar. This is the same recipe I use from a British cooking book. I tried this recipe this year with one change,I added an additional egg yolk. Have been making lemon curd for several years. We are fortunate to have a Meyer lemon tree. You can make curd from (almost) any fruit, including lime, grapefruit, passionfruit, and more.Įditor’s note: This recipe was originally published in the January 2001 issue of ‘Gourmet’ and first appeared on Epicurious August 2004. If our best lemon curd wins you over, consider branching out. Or for a foolproof version, use our step-by-step guide to making lemon curd in a double boiler. Worried about turning your curd into lemony scrambled eggs? Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for this streamlined recipe and whisk constantly. Using egg yolks exclusively would turn out a denser, richer curd with a more pronounced eggy flavor. Incorporating egg whites into your lemon curd, along with the yolks, results in a lighter sauce with a brighter lemon flavor. This recipe calls for whole eggs (as opposed to just egg yolks). Once you’ve let your lemon curd chill-a true test of patience!-it’s ready to be spread over scones or toast, swirled into yogurt, layered onto meringue, dolloped on this brown butter Dutch baby, or incorporated into one of these recipes. If you’re a fan of that simple ingredient list, just wait until you meet the method: All you need to do is whisk the ingredients over moderately low heat for about five minutes, until the first bubble appears. It requires only pantry staples, calling for nothing beyond lemons (the juice and zest), sugar, butter, and eggs. This recipe is the best way to make lemon curd that’s bright, tart, and silky smooth.
