LUSCIOUS LEMON CURD



Luscious Lemon Curd image

Got this recipe from an English friend of mine. This lemon spread is wonderful on scone or toast, and muffins. I have made it for several years as some of my Christmas gifts. I have never deviated from this recipe, and it's so good and rich!

From the 09/06/09 issue of Parade magazine article by Dorie Greenspan. Though we have many lemon curd recipes on Recipezaar, this begs to be posted. I have not made this. Please note the shelf time!
