Lime Curd
Original recipe from ABC Delicious magazine. I found the online recipe here, at taste.com.au it makes approx 1.5 cups of delicious lime curd, ready for your spoon…
Time: 20 mins or so
Ingredients
2 eggs +2 egg yolks
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup chilled butter (I’ve used salted because I like to balance the sweetness)
Zest + juice of 2 limes
Method:
Add the whole eggs, yolks and sugar into a large saucepan.
Whisk the mixture until smooth, then place pan over a low heat.
Add the butter, juice and zest and whisk slowly, (cause we don’t want to scramble those eggs!)
Keep whisking until the curd comes together like so,
Finally, you have the option to strain the curd or not (as I’ve chosen too). Lime curd should keep up to two weeks in the fridge…if you can hold out that long…
I shall make this tomorrow [Thursday has been officially declared as not leaving the house day in my casa]. I shall eat it. I shall not share it.
I’m so lucky to still have some about, it’s been on crackers, meringue sandwiches and I think it might go with some lovely yoghurt too before the week is out…
