Lemon Curd

Lemon Curd

Long, slow cooking is the secret for a good lemon curd. Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over a pan of hot water. Take your time! This recipe makes about 800g which should just about fill two standard size jam jars.
Make sure that used jars are spotlessly clean and sterilise by warming in the oven.
The curd should keep in a cool place in perfect condition for about three months.
