thought I'd share this super easy recipe for curd that I found on the net today: it is passionfruit flavoured but I include the replacements for other flavours too.
6 – 8 passionfuit, halved and the pulp saved
4 whole eggs, 2 yolks
125g of butter, chopped
300g caster sugar
juice of one lemon (optional, but I found the mix too sweet without it)
In a microwaveable bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar.
Add the fruit, lemon juice and butter and stir together
Microwave on medium (about 450W) for around 6 – 10 minutes, WHISKING EVERY MINUTE, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon.
Makes 3 medium sized jars.
For Lemon curd, replace the pulp and juice, with the grated rind and juice of 4 lemons and as the lemons are so tart, increase the sugar to 350g (some recipes have you seive the rind out at the end, but I like to leave it in for texture)
For Lime curd use the rind and juice of 5 limes
For Orange curd use the rind and juice of 3/4 oranges
As we cannot buy this in France it is a big seller for me; but do note if you make it to sell, that it must be kept cool and has a shelf life of around 2-3 months; it is also important to warn purchasers about the egg content!
happy curding!
Interestingly, Shelley, when my daughter tasted it, she said she expected coconut as well to hit the tastebuds, so I reckon a new recipe of a cheesecake-type of thing:
Coconut-y biscuits for the base;
creamy cheesecake mix on that;
then lime curd in a thin layer on top
- how does that sound?
Might try that and see what it turns out like.

Please disguise package so postman does not pinch it (like he did my M&Ms)!
Funny that - where does the 'lost' post go?
We have friends in Sweden who started to send us a piece of crockery each Christmas, forming a set. The beautiful jug arrived - and I've had pleasure using it, too.
However, they visited us in the UK this year, and wanted to know where the other three items were ..........
