Lime Curd

[Scratch Secret Suppers]

Just finished making a batch of lime curd for next week's Scratch Secret Supper. Hope I can hold off eating the vat of it til then. Early production might have been a mistake. Hmmm.

Anyway this is a great recipe so I thought I'd share...

4-6 limes, zest and juice

200g caster sugar

100g butter, cut into cubes

3 eggs, plus egg yolk 

• Pop lemon zest and juice, sugar and butter in bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir to melt.
• Whisk eggs and yolk and stir them into the lemon mixture until all are well combined,
• Cook for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is creamy and will coat the back of a spoon.
• Set aside to cool. Once cooled, spoon the curd into sterilised jars and seal.
