I am always on the lookout for recipes where I can use produce from our garden. I recently noticed a recipe from the River Cottage's Hugh Fearnley- Wittingstall, It uses apples, lemons and eggs, all of which we produce plenty. It also seemed perfect to make in the Thermomix. When I tasted it I realized that an extra bonus was the multitude of ways this curd could be used.
500g Granny Smith Apples, after peeling and coring
500g sugar
125g unsalted butter
5 eggs (to weigh 220g. or a bit more)
2 whole lemons, (unwaxed washed and cut into 8th.'s)
Juice of 1 lemon.
Add sugar and cut up lemons to TMX bowl, zap for 20 seconds, speed 7.
Add 1/4ed apples and zap 20 seconds,speed 7
Add butter, ( cut into cubes), and eggs, and extra lemon juice, zap for 20 seconds on speed 7.
Cook on 100, for 10 mins., speed 3, then
Cook for 10 mins., 90, speed 3
Pour into sterilized jars and seal, turn upside down. Cool
Makes about 4/5 medium jars.
Best refrigerated because of the eggs.
Can be used with/on, Pancakes, Waffles, Queen of Puddings, over ice cream, filling in Lemon Tea Cake, crumpets, toast, and added to an Apple pie filling,
