just about to make a citrus meringue pie cookie

[SueJen]

made 2 batches of the citrus curd today.
Have been using castor sugar, but today used raw sugar and gave it a really good mill you couldn't even see any flecks of colour from the peel and was as smooth as. Tastes great too. Love this recipe Tenina, thanks

Mmmmmm my last lot is almost run out, will make some more today.

Good tip SueJen thank you!

Holy Cow!  I have no idea what this will be like when cool and whether it will set etc, but had a lick from the bowl after decanting it into a jar and OMG it's incredible!  Gorgeously gorgeous!  Thanks Tenina, corker of a recipe and so easy!!!!

I made this the other day, and after tasting it I have to confess that I licked the TMX lid clean! Good thing the kids weren't home to see that!

Would this be ok made ahead of time and then spooned into small tart cases as a Xmas day desert? Little lemon tarts?

[Kimmyh]

Yes definitely. Keep the jar in the fridge and spoon it in tarts, on icecream, into your mouth, on scones, into your mouth again.....

Hi i would like to know how many small jars this will make? If you are doing a double batch does it all fit in Tm at the same time?

Made this today double quantity. Cooked 2 mins longer.
Had extra small half lemon left so squeezed extra juice in too.

Very delicious, made 3 and 1/3 jar, 2 as gifts - her jars looked quite big though.

loved the taste of this recipe, but find it interesting how the colors vary from the different recipes.  I personally prefer my lemon curd to look very lemony! Especially if I am giving away in jars, the EDc one came out a nice colour for me. This one came out very pale and almost " beige" looking, was it just my lemons?

I find it depends on the eggs and butter and how yellow they are.  In summer, cows n chooks get less green feed, and more dried grain, so their eggs and milk (and butter) are lighter in colour.  I feed my chooks blackberry nightshade berries and it makes their eggs super orange, which then makes the lemon curd look really yellow.

Just saw a recipe for Passionfruit Curd on Nigella's website. Wat do you think guys, make as per Tenina's recipe and mix through Passionfruit at the end, or put it all in? She uses 11 passion fruits, but I am wondering if a small tin would be enough flavour?
