    I made a triple batch of your lemon curd. I did not strain the zest. Wonderfully tart and good by itself on a spoon. I had this idea to make a lemon curd cheesecake. Using lemon wafers (similar to vanilla wafers) for the crust, I topped with my favorite creamy cheese cake batter and swirled in tablespoons of the curd. Incredible taste. The lemon wafer crust is subtle and complemented by the creamy cheese cake and tart curd. I am now on the third lemon curd cheesecake. One I took to work, one for my daughters birthday and one for my wife and I to enjoy. Still have lemon curd left over. Thanks. Enjoy the videos, bloopers, and energy you bring when preparing your favorite dishes.

    Hi John, I followed your recipe step by step and my Lemon Curd came out just beautiful and the taste is so amazing. You are so right, fresh and homemade is always the best. I am actually using it as a filling for my 4 layer lemon cake toped with buttercream icing....... Thank you so much.

    Thank you for this recipe! Lemon curd brings forth dear memories of my departed mom; an English lady and survivour of two world wars. Mom was not a *star* in the kitchen, bringing to mind much of Britain's notorious cooking of yesteryear! But she excelled in a few things, one of which was her homemade lemon curd. I still recall memories of the taste of her curd. It was excellent. Us kids would rejoice in her allowing us to put it on toast and buttered bread. In fact, I still have the original index card of her recipe, although I've only made it once. Maybe going to make this for xmas presents for my neighbours this year! Thanks again!

    Just finished making this to use in a Limoncello Tiramisu. The lemon curd was easy to make and is so delicious. Next time I'll use a little bit less sugar but that's just to suit my taste. The straining took a little bit of time but was well worth it. The end result is so smooth. Thanks so much for the recipe!

    I tried the lemon curd today, omg the recipe came out perfectly smooth. I made it so I can use it on a cheesecake I made. I did sample the lemon curd and it was like velvet waves dancing in my mouth. A perfect balance between tangy and sweetness. I can see topping off a nice vanilla ice cream or a simple butter pound cake or a scone. YUM!, You rock

    I made this using 3/4 cup of a sugar alternative and it came out so well! Very smooth and sweetly tart. Next time I might reduce the sweetener next time because it was a little sweeter than what I would prefer, but it might have been too tart for a lot of people.

    • @ashkr4903
      @ashkr4903 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can eat it how you want. If its too sour I recommend breaking up sugar cookies and then top them off with the curd. Or you can eat it plain. Or make cakes. Or anything really. Swiss rolls. Etc.

It's my go-to now and I'll never try another. This is so so so delicious! John, I am very curious if this is a family recipe or did you adjust others until you were happy.

      I am Greek and yeah, 90% of the times there will be lemons on the table, but I've never heard of them being there for good luck, or that they should be 9. I did google it though and 9 lemons for good luck is a thing, but it's a feng shui thing, not Greek.
