The Cottage Smallholder

Its a lemon curd base looking at the ingredients but I have found a recipe online at the Delia Smith site - will give it a go and post the results.

Well its made and initial taste tests are positive - its lemony with nice bursts of ginger when you get a sliver of preserved ginger.  I'd quite like a more gingery overall taste - tried adding a teaspoon of dried ginger but it hasn't really given it that extra kick - might try some grated fresh root ginger next time.

Here's the recipe link if anyone wants to give it a go (the recipe yielded two small jars).  It doesn't say how long it keeps but looking at the sugar content it should probably keep for about 3mths like standard lemon curd.  Although I doubt it will last that long when the OH gets his hands on it
