LEMON CURD
What looks like pure sunshine and tastes even better?
LEMON CURD
Lemon Curd is something we love. Although lemon trees don’t grow in groves in Sweden, I still think making our own is something special.

Currently, it’s accompanying our breakfasts, but, it’s also great to have around for cakes, pastries, meringues, scones, and other baked goods. I really love it with plain yogurt when I’ve craving a something sweet that’s a treat but, not too naughty — with with granola (here) for breakfast! Recipe below.

* A double boiler/bain-marie is perfect for making this recipe but, if you don’t have one, you can improvise by using a heat proof bowl which you stack in a larger pot of simmering water.
