Ingredient 101 "Lemon Curd"

Lemon Curd
another one of life's simple pleasures...
and not just for scones anymore!
(Click here for more detailz at Wiki.)

5 Ingredients is ALL that you need.

Sugar
Egg Yolks
Fresh Lemon Juice
Unsalted Butter
Fresh Lemon Zest

(If your recipe calls for other ingredients such as cornstarch or flour throw it away & find a new one. Here's one if you need exact quantities & more detailed instructions.)

The secret is to stir constantly on a medium flame.


So easy to tell when it's done!
It will suddenly become translucent.
Immediately pour into a glass bowl
(or small glass jars for gift giving)
and refrigerate for up to 1 month.



Things jin uses it in:

• Lemon Curd French Buttercream

Hand cut mini pie shells baked until golden brown.

Filled with Lemon Curd & topped with an Italian Meringue.
