I use lemon curd for a few of my recipes and I saw Ina make on her show one day. I went to buy some yesterday and a sm jar was over $4.00 so I bought lemons in stead and I'm amazed how easy it is to make. I'll never buy lemon curd again. Thanks Ina !!!!!!




Wonderful base curd

Ina is a genius. Not only can the girl cook, but she can bake too. I have followed many of her recipes, but this one I will stand up and say something about. I used this recipe as a base to make cranberry curd and tangerine curd and I am about to embark on blueberry curd then raspberry. I have been using them in trifles I created for the holidays - it has wow'd everyone. Simply substitute lemon juice for whatever flavor you're in the mood for. Make sure it is nice and strong. For the tangerine, I juiced about 20 of them and made a reduction. A stainless steel sauce pan is the key.




great for oven-less

Good stuff.. not great, but above average. It left a very slight aftertaste that I couldn't figure out the second time I made it. Quick & easy to make.

An easy recipe that defines Lemon and Lime Curd. I've tried many and this one got rave reviews from everyone, young and above. The pan and bowl were licked clean.It has that exrta "tang" one hopes to taste in a curd. Blending the zest with the sugar insures the fruit's flavor tingles your taste buds.

I am planning on making the lemon cakes. Didn't see the episode. Wondering about the lemon curd--- is that to be served with the cakes?? How is it used? I hope I get a reply to scruises@aol.com

This recipe is perfect blend of sweet and tart. It is much cheaper to make than buying lemon curd, the equivalent of which would cost around $12.00. I used it to make Rachael's Lemon Chicken and it was wonderful.

This is the first time I have made lemon curd and it was absolutely fabulous and easy. I used 3 large Meyer lemons and followed Ina's recipe. I wholeheartedly recommend this recipe.

Could a recipe for lemon curd get any easier and be any tastier. I can think of all kinds of desserts that will be great with this. So glad I tried it.
