Citrus Curd image

Okay... The traditional curd is lemon, however I had a recipe that called for lime curd and could not find it anywhere in any of our stores. I consulted with my sister and decided that this recipe would work for basically any citrus fruit. I ended up making this recipe 3 times in one night(lemon, lime & orange) to verify that...

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curd turned out lumpy. I think I may have overcooked it.

This curd is a bit too tart for my taste, but I know that some people prefer it that way. I would recommend adding a little more sugar to the recipe if you don't like your curd too tart.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus, but I really enjoyed this curd. It's not too tart and it has a really smooth texture.

This curd is so versatile. I've used it as a filling for pies and tarts, and I've also spread it on toast and scones. It's always a hit.

This is the best citrus curd I've ever had. It's so smooth and creamy, and the flavor is out of this world. I will definitely be making this again.
