Homemade Lemon Curd – Easy and Successful Formula

 

Many years ago when I saw jars of Lemon Curd in an English shop for the first time, I had no idea what it was and how I could use it. This type of a preserve just wasn’t known in Poland at that point. Later I learned it was a popular ingredient for an afternoon tea in England served with scones, as a filling for cakes and pastries or a simple dessert. I also found out from my mother-in-law another way of using it, but I will write about it in my next post.

Years passed by, and Lemon Curd is now available in some shops in Poland. However a few weeks ago when I needed it, I couldn’t find it anywhere. So I decided to give it a go and make it myself. I did a little research, found many recipes and at the end combined a few of them to create one pretty simple and 100% successful formula.
