Directions
Lemon Curd Stove Top or Microwave Method Lime or Orange Curd, A British tea time favorite. This is sweet and tart. Try it on scones, muffins, and tea breads or layer on Angel Food cake with Raspberries and recipe #54868! I’ve also microwaved this just watch and stir a lot. For orange or lime curd, substitute appropriate fruit rind and juice. Proceed as directed. FYI- When filling a cake with this be sure to pipe a rim of frosting on the edge of the first layer, then fill inside with the chilled lemon curd, place top layer then frost., Is this thick enough to use for filling a cake?, I just finished making this recipe. After standing there stirring for 45 minutes I looked up another lemon curd recipe because I remember making it years ago and that recipe did not use a double boiler set up. So I found a recipe on Fine Cooking and it did not use the double boiler, so I immediately dumped out the hot water, poured my “almost” curd into the pan over low heat and it came together in about 2 minutes. SO frustrating. I may make this recipe again but it will NOT be in a double boiler!! :
