How wonderfully good is Lemon Curd, spread thickly on hot buttered toast, absolutely delicious and a wonderful pick-me-up at anytime of the day or even night! My Sister Jenny, who lives at ‘Orchard End ‘ in the Village, came up with this years winning jar at our Village Flower and Vegetable Show. Being an excellent cook, Jenny gaining the 1st Prize, was really no surprise to us all. I will from time to time, ‘blog’ some more of  her wonderful recipes. So for lovers of this really superb spread, I print the winning recipe below. Do hope you try it.
Lemon Curd – made with love.
Rind of 3 large lemons. Juice of 2 Large Lemons. 8ozs Castor Sugar.  4ozs unsalted butter. 2 large eggs.                                                  Â
Put lemon rind and juice, sugar and butter into a basin over simmering water. Stir until sugar has dissolved, Add the well-beaten eggs and continue to stir until thickened ( about 10 min’s) until curd coats the back of a wooden spoon. Pour into sterilised jars and seal. Allow to cool and store in fridge, Pretty cotton lids made from scrapes of clean linen and trimmed with pinking shears, completes the picture, … I did say store - Still you could always get the toast and butter ready!
