Title: Lactose Free Lemon Butter or Lemon Curd
Post by: Cuilidh on September 23, 2011, 04:13:32 am

Is there such a thing as lactose free lemon butter or curd?  I've been given a bag of lemons and thought I might make some this weekend but with DH having developed a lactose intolerance I'm not sure what my options might be.  Any ideas anyone?

I will try to get onto QuirkyJo's blog later today to see if she's got anything there, but I'm open to any help / inspiration.

Thanks

I should have gone to Quirky Jo's blog first - here's (http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2011/01/lemon-butter-made-with-rapadura.html) the very thing.  Now I just have to find the thread on coconut oil to refresh my memory on this oil.

Kathryn, thanks for your response - you and I were both responding at the same time.  Quirky Jo's recipe definitely says ghee as well, I'm just a bit wary of ghee "just in case" there is any lactose in there.

I am the same as you Marina... I am wary as I do know that peoples symptoms and reactions are all different for the same problem. That coconut oil is becoming a very handy ingredient!!!!  :D

Girls,  my Lemon Spread doesn;t have any butter in it.  Does have cornflour.  It is on my Blog and Forum.  Sorry ,  still can't link.

Got it, Chookie, thanks for that. Here's (http://achookwoman.blogspot.com/2009/11/lemon-spread.html) the link to your recipe.

Unfortunately I couldn't make your lemon butter, Chookie, as the only custard powder I could find had "milk solids" in it.  I ended up making the CWA lemon butter off Bush Gourmand's blog.  It is really nice and very easy - unfortunately, as I was transferring the rack of bottles from the kitchen bench to the table to cool all but two of the jars crashed to the floor and I am left with only two bottles .... but a very clean floor!!! 

I also made Quirky Jo's lemon butter.  I was a bit dubious about this - the caramel colour on her blog didn't look anything like lemon butter to me, but I trust QJ's recipes and I was determined to make a lactose free version so went on and made a batch of this regardless of my reservations - and it is, simply, gorgeous  :D  It has so much depth of taste that it was very hard to stop 'tasting' it and put it in the fridge for the night!  We'll see if I can resist it today.

I must now go out and buy more butter and make more of the CWA recipe as I promised all my friends who gave me their lemons jars of goodies in return!
