HOMEMADE LEMON CURD



Homemade Lemon Curd image

Lemon curd is a scrumptious spread for scones, biscuits or other baked goods. You can find it in larger grocery stores alongside the jams and jellies or with the baking supplies, but we like making this lemon curd recipe from scratch. -Mark Hagen, West Allis, Wisconsin

ZESTY LEMON CURD



Zesty Lemon Curd image

There are lemon trees in our backyard, so I'm always on the prowl for new ways to use the fruit. When we shared some of our homegrown citrus with neighbors-Canadians who were spending the winter here-the wife "repaid" us by giving us this recipe! The curd keeps well, and it can be used for any meal. My husband likes it on waffles and toast for breakfast, but it's also a great dessert topping on plain cake or ice cream. -Jean Gaines, Bullhead City, Arizona
