And grapefruit curd -- another great idea! Thanks for letting us know about it. <BR/><BR/>I was talking with an acquaintance the other day who caters and cooks as a profession, and she said she bet the curd would freeze, well, too, so I think I'm going to give that a try.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-46464372678295453952009-02-03T04:52:00.000-08:002009-02-03T04:52:00.000-08:00I made your Lemon Curd recipe this past weekend. ...I made your Lemon Curd recipe this past weekend. It turned out wonderful and we are eating it on graham crackers. My in-laws live in Phoneix and have a lemon and grapefruit tree. They had just brought us a bushel of fruit. Since the lemon curd turned out so nice I thought hmmm.... how about Grapefruit Curd. We love it! I used the juice and some rind from two grapefruits. Wonderful! Thanks for the recipe.<BR/>Nancy<BR/>www.basketmasterweavings.blogspot.comNancy at EmbroideryIt.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462544567484306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-90231345511538297482009-02-02T19:47:00.000-08:002009-02-02T19:47:00.000-08:00This one is so going into my recipe box.This one is so going into my recipe box.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995260386315141412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-38042988304516553102009-01-31T11:02:00.000-08:002009-01-31T11:02:00.000-08:00Berji's Domain, sounds like it was a successful ex...Berji's Domain, sounds like it was a successful experiment!

We planted it maybe 6 or 8 years ago, and I'm sure it has paid for itself dozens of times over. <BR/><BR/>And the book this recipe came from has tons of fun and very creative ideas in it. I haven't tried too many of the recipes, but after the lemon curd success, I definitely want to try more :) <BR/><BR/>Money Funk, you ask a good question about how long the lemon curd will last. I didn't know as this was my first time making it. One of my cookbooks said lemon curd would last in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, but my Sunset Cook Book of Favorite Recipes lists a very similar recipe, and they report it will keep in the refrigerator as long as six weeks! So how's THAT for good news!?!<BR/><BR/>Strawberry Smash Muffins sound delightful. I will go check those out. :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-11691322288215585522009-01-23T13:52:00.000-08:002009-01-23T13:52:00.000-08:00BTW, it will go really good with my Strawberry Sma...BTW, it will go really good with my <A HREF="http://www.moneyfunk.net/2008/08/yummy-strawberry-muffins.html" REL="nofollow">Strawberry Smash Muffins</A>!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-31265623103891397392009-01-23T13:50:00.000-08:002009-01-23T13:50:00.000-08:00I have always wanted to make lemon curd, but never...I have always wanted to make lemon curd, but never got around to it.

I can't belive how expensive they are for one tiny lemon here! But since I only need 2 I'm gonna try this too! That books looks like a good one. I need to go check out the other book you mentioned on your current post! Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing this recipe!

What the heck was there to be intimidated by? Kinda like making jam. It's as simple as stirring and boiling. But until you try it . . . you don't know that.<BR/><BR/>Berji's Domain, I don't see why you couldn't make this with limes instead of lemons. As limes are smaller, you might need to juice maybe two extra, and grate the peel from maybe one extra -- that's what I'd try, anyway. Good luck, and let us know if you try it and if it's good. <BR/><BR/>I've also seen a citrus curd recipe that uses the juice and peel from one lemon and one orange (no lime). That sounds like an interesting variation, too.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-827596588283482922009-01-22T11:48:00.000-08:002009-01-22T11:48:00.000-08:00I love lemons and lemon curd!As limes are currentl...I love lemons and lemon curd!<BR/>As limes are currently cheaper for us right now, do you have any words of wisdom for adapting this to make lime curd?Berji's domainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883696686448650937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-19069443328094222132009-01-22T04:51:00.000-08:002009-01-22T04:51:00.000-08:00I have seen many recipes call for lemon curd but w...I have seen many recipes call for lemon curd but was always intimated and therefore never made it....your recipe has changed my mind.
