I am a Lemon Lover! Whether it is a roast chicken with Lemon and garlic or a Lemon Meringue Pie. It doesn't make a difference to me, they are all delicious. When it comes to sweet dishes, one of the most versatile ingredients you can keep in the refrigerator is Lemon Curd. It is a sort of custard that is made with eggs and lemons and sugar. It can be used as a tart or pie filling. You can fold it into whipped cream or made into a mousse. It has dozens of uses. You make it by peeling the zest off of a few lemons and mix it in a food processor with sugar until it is processed with the sugar. You then cream that sugar mixture with room temperature butter until combined. You then, juice the lemons and mix that with the butter-sugar mixture. It will look curdled but that is the way it is suppose to look. You then cook it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about ten minutes. You then cool and refrigerate it. It has no preservatives, so it is best to use it quickly. It is simply delicious. I personally like spooning a bit over some vanilla ice cream. This recipe below is Ina Garten's recipe. It is the easiest recipe I have found! Bon Appetit!
