Lime Curd

It's that time of year again when the limes are ready to be picked and the little tree chopped back for the cooler months. Previously I have made things like Lime Chiffon Pie and Lime Meringue Pie and it was awesome but this year was time for something new. Enter Lime Curd. Where you been all my life?

Seriously.

How did I miss this?  It's straight forward to make, easy to store and you can put it on…..everything? It is full of tart sweet goodness.

Lime Curd
1/2 cup lime juice
125g butter
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
lime zest

Combine lime juice, butter and sugar in a bowl over gently simmering boiling water. Mix until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

Whisk the eggs until frothy then slowly pour into the sugar and lime mixture.

Stir the mixture continuous and watch that it doesn't get too hot (or it will curdle). Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until the mixture is thick.

Remove from the heat, stir through the lime zest and pour into a jar.

 Also Lime Curd Cheesecake will be happening soon.
