Easy Lemon Curd Food

LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Using a carrot peeler, remove the zest of 3 lemons, being careful to avoid the white pith. Put the zest in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is very finely minced into the sugar.
• Cream the butter and beat in the sugar and lemon mixture. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and then add the lemon juice and salt. Mix until combined.
• Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly. The lemon curd will thicken at about 170 degrees F, or just below simmer. Remove from the heat and cool or refrigerate.

EASY LEMON CURD

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs.
• Stir in butter and cook over medium-low heat whisking vigorously and continuously until the curd is thick enough to hold a ripple mark when the whisk is lifted from the curd and the first bubbles appear on the surface (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
• Transfer to a bowl then cover the curd using plastic wrap spread directly over the curd.
• Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using or up to 1 week.

THE EASIEST LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Put the butter in a large (at least 6 cup) microwave-safe glass bowl or measuring cup. Set your microwave on 50 percent power and melt the butter, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Pour butter into a blender and add lemon zest, juice, sugar, eggs, egg yolk and salt. Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into the same glass bowl you melted the butter in. (You don't need to wash it.)
• Microwave the curd mixture, on full power, in 1-minute intervals for 5 minutes. Whisk furiously between intervals, especially around the edges of the bowl. It should start to thicken. (If it looks like it's starting to thicken before 5 minutes, stop and continue to the next step; microwaves can vary.)
• Reduce power to 70 percent and continue to microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes, whisking every 30 seconds, until the curd thickens enough to coat a spoon, and looks slightly puffed and spongy. (It will continue to thicken as it chills.) An instant-read thermometer should register 180 degrees.
• Whisk well and inspect the curd. If you think there are any coagulated bits of egg, strain curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Or if it looks smooth, you can leave it in its current bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface to create an airtight seal and let the curd cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs.
• Add the butter and cook over low heat, stirring continuously with a whisk, until the first bubble appears on the surface of the mixture and the curd is thick enough to hold marks of the whisk, about 6-8 minutes.
• Strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh strainer if you don't want the lemon zest in the curd. Transfer the hot lemon curd to a bowl or jar and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cold, then take off the plastic wrap and replace with a lid.
• The curd keeps fresh in the refrigerator for about 1 week.

Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, zest and juice. Pour into a small saucepan and stir over low-medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
• Add the cold butter a couple of pieces at a time, stirring until each addition is melted and incorporated. Make sure not to let the curd come to a bubble at any time.
• Continue cooking the mixture another few minutes until it is thickened and coats the back of a spoon or leaves a thick coating on the side of the pan when you tilt it.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to remove any bits of egg that may not have mixed through.
• Pour into sterilised conserve jars and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Seal the jars and store in the fridge. See notes for how long to keep.

• Transfer all of the egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking to combine, over medium heat.
• Slice the butter into tablespoon-size slices and add into the hot mixture. Stir until butter is melted and mixture thickens.
• Pour through a mesh sieve into canning jars or a large bowl. Mixture will fill 2 half-pint jars (1 pint total).

• In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, zest, and egg yolks; whisk in lemon juice and salt.
• Add butter and place pan over medium-high. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and small bubbles form around the edge of pan, about 5 minutes (do not boil).
• Remove pan from heat while continuing to whisk. Pour curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass bowl. Press plastic wrap against the surface of curd and refrigerate until cool.

EASY EGGLESS LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Zest the lemons. Juice the lemons until you have about half a cup of lemon juice. Don't forget to remove out the seeds.
• Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan.
• Add milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest; mix to combine.
• Heat on low heat, while constantly stirring with a wire whisk until the mixture thickens, starts to bubble, and coats the back of a wooden spoon. NOTE: If the curd isn't thickening, turn up the heat and constantly whisk.
• Remove pot from heat, then add the cubed butter and mix until melted. If desired, add 1 -2 drops of yellow gel food coloring to intensify the color. I added two drops of this yellow soft gel paste food color.
• Pour the lemon curd into a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the top of the curd to avoid a skin from forming on top, and refrigerate until cold. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Once cool, the plastic wrap can be removed.

LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Put the lemon zest, juice, sugar and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted. Then, using a small whisk or fork, stir in the beaten egg. Keep gently whisking the mixture over the heat for around 10 mins until thickened like custard.
• Pour the cooked curd through a sieve into a clean jug to remove the zest, then pour into sterilised jars. Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

HOMEMADE LEMON CURD

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk eggs, sugar and lemon juice until blended. Add butter and lemon zest; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; cool 10 minutes. Refrigerate, covered, until cold.

LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar, eggs, corn syrup and lemon juice together in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Drop in the pieces of butter.
• Put the saucepan over medium heat and start whisking. You want to get into the corners of the pan, so if your whisk is too big for the job, switch to a wooden or silicone spatula. Cook, continuing to whisk - don't stop - for 6 to 8 minutes, until the curd starts to thicken. When it is noticeably thickened and, most important, you see a bubble or two come to the surface, stop; the curd is ready.
• Immediately scrape the curd into a heatproof bowl or canning jar or two. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface to create an airtight seal and let the curd cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.

THE BEST LEMON CURD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Set over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl beat together 3 eggs and 4 egg yolks. Whisk it very well.
• When the liquid on the stove is ready, slowly pour some of it into the bowl with the eggs, whisking constantly. I usually pour in about half, but you can do more or less. This is called tempering the eggs.
• Return the pot to the stove and add the rest of the eggs while stirring. If you don't stir you may curdle your eggs.
• Continue to whisk pretty constantly over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. When you drag your whisk over the top of the mixture, it should leave marks.
• Pour the curd through a mesh strainer into a new bowl (or the same one, washed). Unless you are an expert curd maker, you will probably have a few solid egg pieces in there, which is totally okay! Just strain them out.
• Stir the chopped butter into the lemon curd until it's completely melted. This is a good time for a large spoonful of hot lemon curd.
• Press a square of plastic wrap directly on top of the lemon curd. If you just cover the bowl, you will get a film on your curd.
• Refrigerate until cold, about 2-4 hours. It will thicken up some as it cools.
• Transfer to a tupperware. Keeps for 1-2 weeks.
