Lemon Curd
This is the Lemon Curd I served at the tea I catered. It's so easy to make and it got rave reviews. Fruit curd is a dessert spread and topping usually made with lemon, lime, orange or raspberry. The basic ingredients are beaten egg yolks, sugar, fruit juice and zest which are gently cooked together until thick and then allowed to cool, forming a soft, smooth, intensely flavored spread. It can be used for bread, scones, toast, waffles, crumpets, pancakes, or muffins.Curds are different from pie fillings or custards in that they contain a higher proportion of juice and zest, which gives them a more intense flavor.
