I was at Costco two weeks ago and noticed the pile of lemons in one section.. The lemons were so enticing, both in color and fragrance, so I grabbed a bag. I figured I can always use lemons.
Well, this morning, I still haven't gotten around to using a great part of it other than to squish a little bit on the omelet I was making. Hmm, what to do. We always enjoyed lemon curd (especially Michael, my husband, who is an englishman). But, canning a whole bunch of lemon curd just didn't appeal to me.
And what does a modern cook do nowadays, check the internet. S0, I went online and looked up ways to prepare a lemon curd without canning. An article from Fine Cooking, Fool-Proof Lemon Curd indicated that lemon curd freezes well. And voila, and I found this recipe for Freezer Lemon Curd .
So, in between sewing an apron for my granddaughter Courtney (more on this later, it is soooo cute), I made the lemon curd.
This recipe is very, very good! I had enough to fill 6 containers using the Ball Freezer Jar (Item #: 1440082000. Ball® Plastic 8oz. Freezer Jar). By the way, these containers makes preserving jams and jellies really simple. Into the freezer it went, leaving one for immediate use. Yummy!
As you can see, I still have a lot of lemons to use. Maybe I'll make a Lemon Cheesecake. I can take it to the filipino get together we're having next week.
