Lime, Orange or Lemon Curd

Easy to make and so many uses, I like to mix a few tablespoons with some rum and drizzle that over coconut ice cream. Not to forget it is a nice gift.
3 cups
Ingredients
Directions
1
Soften the limes by rolling them back and forth with your hands on the kitchen counter; you will get more juice out of them if you do this.2
Grate the zest very finely, take care that you don’t grate the white pith.3
Squeeze the juice out of the fruit; you will need 150mL.4
Put the rind (zest), butter, sugar and juice in a heatproof basin.5
Stand this over a pan of boiling water and heat until the sugar and butter have melted.6
Lower the heat, you don’t want the water to boil now.7
Whisk in the eggs, when incorporated use a wooden spoon and stir until the curd has thickened and coats the back of the spoon, 20 to 25 minutes.8
Pour into hot jars, when cool label them.9
Use this recipe also to make orange or lemon curd, just make sure you have 150mL juice Keep in the fridge.

Very easy and quite tasty. I tried the lime flavor since I had some limes in my fridge that needed to be used up. I cooled and chilled it, then folded some of the curd into some whipped topping and served it with shortbread cookies. It was delicious. I was eating spoonfuls of it by itself. I added the lime zest while it was cooking because I couldn't see wasting all that flavor from the zest, but I'm sure it would be great without it if you wanted to use the bottled juice. I will try this recipe for my lemon curd too. I love the fact that it uses whole eggs instead of just the yolks. Try this recipe, I'm sure it will be a hit!

Perfection! Raves by all 8 guests...just the best. Here's what I did. Make curd ahead and chill. Whip 2 c. heavy cream with pinch salt until stiff. Fold in half the curd. Now, lay thin slice any yellow or white cake on dish, add 2 Tbsp pure curd, top with generous dollop of cream, decorate with fresh berries and sprig of mint. I used blackberries.

I made the lemon curd variety. It has the 'right' amount of sweet and the 'right' amount of tart for me. I did find it didnt thicken up as much as other lemon curd recipes Ive tried, but still an easy tasty recipe. Thanks for posting.
