LIME CURD

Shelley Foster says “It’s delicious in place of lemon curd or add a spoonful to curries, casseroles, & dressings for some extra zing.”

Ingredients

50 g butter

1 cup lime juice

3/4 cup sugar

2 beaten eggs

1 teaspoon lime zest

Method

Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler.

Stir in sugar and lime juice, & mix until the sugar is dissolved.

Add eggs and zest, then cook, stirring all the time until the mixture thickens.

Pour into sterilised jars.
