DawnM Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have no idea why you put it on your list, but it is the most awesome stuff! Here is a recipe that will give you an idea of what is in it. http://www.joyofbaking.com/LemonCurd.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Curd of a lemon. Duh. Maybe you meant 'lemon crud'? Not that I know what that is either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 What: Lemon juice and egg yolk Where: British import store? Specialty grocery store, World Market, etc. Why: To celebrate the Queen's Jubilee? Lemon tarts? Because it taste good straight out of the jar?

jennsmile Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It would be with pie fillings or jams. It makes an awesome filling for cakes or mini lemon pies. I love it plain...it is like nutella, once you have some you can't just have a tiny bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's SUPER good on gingerbread! I had it for the first time this year. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It is to be transported, via tiny little scones (or, if you are out of tiny little scones, a tiny little spoon), to one's mouth and followed by the closing of one's eyes and the utterance of a blissful, "Mmmmmm." Glad I could help. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 because it is lovely! Toast with butter and lemon curd is very nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It is like a thicker lemon pudding, and you should be able to find it by the jams or at an import store. I imagine it isn't hard to make either. Now I want some.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplain Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 And why did I write it down on my grocery list??? :lol: In December I made a special trip to Williams-Sonoma to get espresso powder . . . and then I couldn't remember why I'd wanted it! :D (Later I figured it out. I read somewhere that small amounts of espresso enhance the flavor of chocolate in a recipe.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've seen lemon curd in the spice aisle at my local Kroger. Now I want some. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Do not buy it. Do not make it. Once you start you'll never stop! Wonderful! If nothing else is around eat if from the spoon. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Forgot to say it's really intensely flavored, not like a milky custard. I know the analogy isn't perfect, but I think of it like a nice lemon sorbet compared to a lemon ice cream--more "lemon-y" if you could possibly know what I mean! but the texture is creamy.

Rosie_0801 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We call it lemon butter. You probably want it to put on scones. Oh wait. You people call scones something else. Biscuits, I think. :rolleyes: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I mean, come on! You don't know what lemon curd is?

elizabeth Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It is on your list because you want to make Ina Garten's Lemon Tart. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lemon-curd-tart-recipe/index.html That sounds only slightly obscene. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellesmere Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I don't have a microwave and I don't care for lemons, so I don't know if this recipe works. But here is one for lemon curd! Supposedly it is good with ginger cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Which completely negates any and all possible calories. Cat, that was going to be my exact response as well!! Lemon curd is sheer lemony deliciousness. And since I try to be helpful in addition to snarky, I've seen it at Trader Joe's if you have one. Although if you have a large grocery store it's entirely possible they'll have it as well. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Trader Joe's carries it. I've also seen it in Walmart Superstores near the jam, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpidarkomama Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It is also delicious stirred into plain Greek style yogurt. It's unbelievable on goat yogurt..... oh, swoon.

Lizzie in Ma Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I adore lemon curd. When I was little my best friend's mom used to let us have it on Saltines as a snack. It's in the jelly section at the supermarket here. Mackays is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lemon curd is essential to this wonderful recipe...I know you'll invite all of us over when they are done...perfectly light and wonderful for spring... Frozen Lemon Cream Sandwiches one 7-oz container chilled creme fraiche (I make my own creme fraiche--one cup of sour cream, one cup of heavy cream stirred together in a jar with room for expansion. Leave on the counter for 24-48 hours. Pure yumminess) 1/4 cup lemon curd finely grated zest of one lemon 12 crisp butter waffle cookies 1/4 cup chopped unsalted pistachios (sometimes I omit these) Line a small baking sheet with wax paper. In a chilled bowl, beat the creme fraiche with the lemon curd and zest until firm peaks form. Arrange half of the cookies on the baking sheet and spoon the lemon cream onto the centers, letting it ooze gently to the edges. Top w/the remaining cookies, pressing down very gently. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the sandwiches until firm, at least 4 hrs. Spread the nuts on a plate and roll the edges of the sandwiches in them. 6 servings (Can be frozen in an airtight container up to one week.) NOTES: Jules Destrooper Crisp Butter Wafers (from Belgium) are available from specialty shops in the US. They are, as their name implies, wonderfully crisp and buttery ... accept no substitute! Use any good brand of lemon curd. I used Nelson's, from England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
