Today I came home and just saw lemons galore in my kitchen, so I thought for a while about what I could make with them...perhaps a tart? or maybe a lemon cake? But then it clicked: Quick, simple and delicious Lemon curd! It came out beautifully tart, smooth and sweet all at the same time, and got my mom reminiscing about her youth. Eat it as an accompaniment to scones for a tea time treat or wedge macaroons together using it as the "glue" or just eat it with a spoon! It is also a great "thank you" gift for a host. Give it a try! You'll love it!
