Lemon Spread (Lemon Curd)
The following is Gillian's recipe ( Food, Recipes & Little Known Facts From The Past ) for Lemon Spread (Lemon Curd). Ingredients : 3 lemons 4 oz butter ½ lb caster sugar 2 eggs Directions: Grate lemon rinds. Squeeze out and strain lemon juice. Beat eggs. Add sugar. Beat everything well. Add butter in small pieces, lemon rind and juice. Stand basin in a saucepan of hot water. Stir over moderate heat until butter and sugar are dissolved. Regulate heat to keep water in pan below boiling point. Continue cooking and stirring with a wooden spoon (don’t stop! It’s good for the wrist) until the mixture thickens enough to set when tested on a plate. The right consistency is reached when the curd coats the back of a spoon. Put into sterile jars and seal well. Refrigerate after opening. Delicious on bread and butter. Easy as spreading it on the bread! (Something new for me from Oz!) Posted On: Help!
