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!! 🙁
