Lighter Lemon - Lime Curd (No Butter) image

I love lemon curd or lemon butter as we call it here in Oz but it's quite fattening so I went searching for a lighter version and found this on a website called Bakingsheet. Recipe can easily be increased.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice or 1/3 cup lime juice

Steps:

  • In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, dissolve sugar into lemon juice. Add zest.
