how to make lemon curd:
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- zest of 1 [or 2] lemons
- 1/2 cup juice
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teas vanilla
mix eggs, sugar, and zest until smooth. add butter and juice and whisk the crap out of it over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
pour into sieve over conveniently sized bowl and scrape lightly with a spatula, then mix in vanilla.
discard zest and any accidentally cooked egg
repeat with key lime zest [and some gel coloring], key lime juice, and some lemon in case youre too lazy to juice 49 itty bitty key limes.
voila! meyer lemon and key lime pudding type sauce stuff

ReplyDeletemy old roommate started making lemon curd last summer and i kind of missed it. i think my recipe is much easier than the one she was using, but its just about as good!
