Old-Fashioned Lemon Curd Recipe

Homemaking

Lemons… so bright and cheerful. Every spring I start craving everything lemon; lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, and lemon curd. Maybe it is the sunny yellow color after the dark winter days. My favorite kind of lemons are Meyer Lemons, they are so sweet and fragrant and my Grandpa in California has a tree that growing up we always got lemons from. But when Grandpa’s Meyer lemons aren’t available I make do with regular ones and buy a big bag when they are on sale.

This recipe for lemon curd is so rich and delicious… and it is really quite simple to make. The trick is to keep whisking the mixture to make sure it stays smooth and doesn’t turn out with lumps. This lemon curd is perfect paired with scones for a delightful poetry teatime!

Lemon Curd   Ingredients

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
  • 1/2 stick butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all ingredients except butter in a medium bowl. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  2. Stir constantly until Mixture thickens, about ten minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  4. Transfer to a clean jar and stor in the refridgerator for up to a week.
  5. Serve on scones, muffins, or toast

    Oh my goodness, this looks like it would taste bright and delicious! My husband loves lemon merengue pie, so he would probably love this recipe.

    Lemon is one of my favorite flavors. I bet this fresh lemon curd would make a killer lemon bar.

Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.

Well, I haven't posted in awhile. Every thing is f Well, I haven't posted in awhile. Every thing is fine, I just needed some space and time to evaluate my priorities and my purpose.  With a new year have come questions in my mind about why I am in this space and whether or not it is truly beneficial for me, my family, or the ones reading my posts. Lately I have been feeling drawn to be more present with the family, friends, and community that are right before me. I have been less and less comfortable with sharing my children and our daily lives online. I am less and less comfortable with how I start to see moments as something instagramable. I am less and less comfortable with how I start to care too much about how many likes my post receives. I don't really know yet what this is going to look like for me. Maybe I will still post occasionally or maybe I will eventually delete my account. So we have been over here doing everyday things, seeking to find joy in the ordinary, and deepen relationships.
