Lemon Curd

[MrsKipling1980]

Looking for lemon curd recommendations.

Not eaten it for years & not even sure if I still like it but inspired by another thread I'm fancying some on a hot cross bun.

Any you would recommend/avoid?

Tiptree also do a rather lovely blackcurrant curd

I am hanging my head in shame, whilst preening a little bit, @Prequelle!

I want a earl grey scone right now as described. Mmmmmmm

My grandma's lemon curd is the best lemon curd 😁

I like Tiptree jam so gonna give their curd a go. Might try making it myself when I get the urge

black current is my favourite curd, but the only places I see it is from the national trust.

I've only ever heard of lemon curd. Didn't know you van get other flavours.

If I toast my hot cross buns & put lemon curd on would you butter them aswel?

Oh my god, I love lemon curd. I can't believe I have never thought to slather it spread it on a hot cross bun.
I always make it using a microwave recipe, I'll see if I can find mine.

It takes about 30 minutes to make and once you’ve tasted homemade you will never go back to the stuff in jars!!

I love lemon curd, two slices of toast, one with marmite and one with lemon curd, amazing combo!

OH MY GOD

I've just realised I had a Madeira cake in AND a jar of lemon curd

Now let me try to abstain from eating the whole sodding thing

Here's the one I use, it's from a pampered chef bread and butter pudding recipe made with croissants, white chocolate and lemon curd.

2 lemons
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
70 g (2 1/2 oz) caster sugar
25 g (1 oz) chilled butter, cut into pieces

For lemon curd, finely zest and juice the lemons. Whisk eggs, yolk, sugar, butter, lemon juice and zest in microwaveable bowl.
Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute; whisk. Microwave on HIGH an additional 2-3 minutes; whisking after every 30-second interval or until thickened. Store in fridge until ready to use.

Ya buggers!

I swear mn makes my grocery shopping more expensive than necessary!

Lemon curd added to shopping list

Waitrose!!!

Make your own as a pp said. Very therapeutic stirring it until it thickens. The only pita is grating and squeezing the lemons.

Duchy Original is the absolute best lemon curd!

Mrs. Darlington's Lemon Curd is amazing.

Toast must be cooled a bit or it melts and that;s just manky .

Was going through some books recently and came across a scrap of paper wiy’Dad’s lemon curd’ recipe on it. I had to make it in his memory and it was truly delicious. We ate it on biscotti.
A lovely way to remember my lovely Dad

The Tiptree one is amazing.

I have it on toast with small chunks of dark chocolate. I let them sit on the hot toast for a minute to soften before spreading the curd across... it's SO good

Don't buy the Co-Op own brand version - it was all they had when I wanted some for a cake filling and it's not great, it was ok in the cake but wouldn't be very nice on toast etc.

National Trust lemon curd is my favourite, delicious on scones with cream 😃

70 it has to be hot toast, melted lemon curd for me!
