Ok i had to google lemonades lol .. Never heard of them .. Cross between a lemon and a mandarin??? Interesting.  What will they come up with next...

[courton]

I make the lemon curd and ANZAC biscuits with macadamia nuts almost every weekend. Two staples in our house!

Are they just sweeter??  Lucky girl... Ive always wanted a few citrus trees but this climate doesnt like them and they need to be in pots ad moved in and outdoots depending on the season and i find indoor with the fire etc plants dont doso well.. (( think in europe you either need avpermant glass type greenhouse or an enclosed verandah to put them on.. I have neither for the moment but i might try a little lemon tree and see how it goes..

I'm just bumping this thread up for new members.  I have made this lemon curd so many times and it's fail safe!  I also make lime curd just substituting limes for lemons.

I've just made this to use as a filling for macarons but it hasn't thickened enough, could I rebook adding another couple of egg yolks or some cornflour?

[snappy]

Wonder I would add another egg yolk and cook for another 4 mins.  I does thicken a lot as it cools as well.

[Wonder]

Thanks. I ended up adding an additional egg yolk and cooked for another six minutes. After this additional cooking it was thick enough to use as a filling for the macarons.

I made this yesterday, it is amazing. I had on toast this morning, but would be better on pancakes, or in a tart. Love it thank you!

I love on rice crackers too.  There is an amazing recipe on the recipe community for lemon tarts - a shortcrust case, with the lemon curd as filling.  Impossible to stop eating them.  Mmmmmmm.  Thank you, Tenina.

Heaps of lemon in the backyard.  Made one batch of this beautiful lemon curd - yummmmmm.....

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. When back from holiday with make fatless sponge ( posted in non TMX recipes) and fill with this.



Thanks for the recipe Tenina and JD
