There's nothing quite like the citrussy zing of homemade curd. Why not give your spread a litle twist with this lime version? It's a little sweeter that the lemon version and tastes delicious either spread thickly on some hot toast or as the filling in a lemon sponge cake.
Ingredients
- 5 limes
- 100g sugar
- 50g butter
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Whisk the lime juice and rind, sugar and butter together in a glass bowl over simmering water.
