Me too. Works every time.

My daughter and I made this curd recipe this evening and it is absolutely delish. We doubled the recipe and cooked it an extra 2 minutes, perfect!

Now you should try Chookie's Queen of Puddings recipe kokokodio - perfect way to use some of that curd.

Hi, I can't wait to make this! I've just been given a bag full of lemons by a friend. Does anyone know how long this would last for being stored in the fridge?

Thanks so much for your help!

I think the guidelines are 3 weeks, but have finished a jar up to a month with no ill effects.

[Tenina]

3 weeks will mean there is no science experiment going on in your fridge! One month means you need to get some people around to help you finish it off! How it lasts that long in anyones house is a mystery to me! We go through a double batch in a day…(but no pics of me slathering it on toast!!)

I generally make 2 batches of this at a time - 1 to eat now and 1 to freeze.  It defrosts really well.  Its great to have a batch of this in the freezer as i whip up little lemon tarts on a whim!!

i tried to modify this recipe to make kiwi curd as i had a lot of kiwis in my fruit box - it wasnt that successful.  I much prefer the lemon curd.

I freeze mine also and it thaws perfectly and quite quickly.

Thanks for letting me know everyone! I can't wait to make it! I'm sure we will finish it up well and truly before three weeks!

Good to know that you can freeze it. I will definitely be trying that!

I'd love to try it with limes as well. That sounds delish! I wonder if mandarins would work? (I have so many at the moment!) Any ideas anyone?

I made this yesterday as a filling for lemon macarons. The curd was delicious and I think I have eaten a spoonful each time I open the fridge!!!!!
Not sure I'd use it as a macaron filling by itself again, I think I'm used to a firmer, creamier texture...maybe add some whipped cream/cream cheese?
I'm using the left over curd to make some lemon tarts for morning tea tomorrow...I need to get it out of the house before I finish it all by myself!

Just made this for the first time.......words can not describe how delicious this is!!!!

Don't try this at home folks but I (carefully) licked the blades clean i did not want to waste any.

Waiting for hubby's roast to be done soi can make tartlets to fill with the curd.

Yummy!!

This is delicious have made over 6 batches now and just love it. Can't stop making it  or eating it and don't care that I still have a bucket of lemons to juice. Didn't think to freeze it but will try that too. Great used as a filling with whipped cream in sponge cake. Thank you so much. Love it heaps!

first time I've made it, wonderful, won't be the last. So much easier in the thermo.
made 1 batch then made a double batch. Good to know it freezes well although only made 5 jars, 2 gone already. Had visitors.

Just made Teninas citrus curd, even better than lemon, if you can believe that.

I prefer the Citrus one too.
