The first lemons I harvested in our garden on are newly planted lemon tree were a little small. But when I can find large and juicy, one thing I love is lemon curd, and lemon tarts. Using up all the juice and the zest, lemon curd is quite easy to make. When it comes to British recipes I like to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.jp\/amp\/s\/www.bbc.com\/food\/recipes\/lemon_curd_68499\/amp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC website<\/a> as they always have good recipes for the British basics. I started with this recipe and slightly changed it to adjust to my habit of not using half of an ingredient, in particular an egg, and because I didn&#8217;t to make meringues to top the tarts.<\/p>\n<p>So here is my recipe of lemon curd. I love how the lemon flavor is not overly compensated by the sweetness and the perfect creamy texture it has.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lemon curd <\/strong>(makes about 500g, good for 2 medium size tarts)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 4 lemons, untreated, nor waxed or whatsoever<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 100g of salted butter<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 3 eggs<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 200g of brown natural cane sugar<\/p>\n<p>Take the zests and juice of the lemon. Put in a pan with the sugar and butter and heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the fire and add the eggs. Stir well and put back on a very low fire and stir regularly. Keep cooking and steering once in a while for 15-20min, until very creamy. That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>You can now use directly in your tarts, in cakes or put in glass jars and use as jam&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you to make a tart, prepare a sabl\u00e9 dough, bake it and then add the lemon curd. Keep refrigerated.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon curd keeps a few days if not jarred. But in both cases in the fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I find beautiful, naturally grown local lemons I want to make many different things with them.
