Lemon Curd, Marmalade, oh my!
Happy Easter!
I made a Meyer Lemon Curd. I think my lemons are so sweet I should have dropped a tablespoon of the sugar from the recipe…but otherwise it turned out perfect, smooth, and creamy, and it only used two eggs (whole). I cheated and used the blender to mix the sugar, juice, and zest. I also beat the eggs before adding them to the double-boiler with the juice-sugar mixture and butter in pieces.
I’m making Chicken’n'Dumplings, Beef stroganoff, and biscuits (to go with the curd). The Chicken and beef were leftovers from my mom, so I turned them into dinner for us.
Now it’s time to try a marmalade though, and I’m having a hard time deciding, and since I made so many other things, and I’ve got a sore throat or something.
I think I will make this Marmalade recipe that allows the cut citrus to soak in water overnight. I’m goping to adjust it though and do six Meyer and three navel, with added sugar. I hope it turns out.
