Lime Curd
How to make delicious, smooth lime curd.
Active Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 350 ml (approx.)
INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium eggs
- 200 g caster sugar
- 6 limes - juice and zest
- 100 g unsalted butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Finely grate the zest of 6 limes and squeeze the juice.
- Cut the butter (100g) into cubes.
- Lightly beat the eggs (4 eggs) and place them into a saucepan with the caster sugar (200g) and lime juice and zest. Mix together.
- Place the pan on the hob over a low heat. Whisk regularly until the curd has thickened. It should leave a coating over the back of the spoon when lifted out.
- Once thickened, remove the lime curd from the heat. Add the butter and whisk until the butter has melted.
- Pass your lime curd through a sieve to remove the pieces of lime zest.For best results, I recommend storing the curd with the zest left in and the passing it through a sieve just before using. This will allow the flavour to develop.
