Lemon Cheese recipe anyone?
|
My MIL used to make lemon cheese - similar to lemon curd but far nicer. She never used any type of preservative so it had to be made and eaten quite quickly. I haven't had it in donkey's years as I need a good recipe. Can anyone help ?

Not tried this yet but it sounds nice.
Finely grate the zest of 4 unwaxed lemons into a heatproof bowl. Juice the lemons and add the juice to the bowl. Beat 4 med eggs and add these. Add 120g butter and 450g caster sugar and sit bowl over pan of simmering water - making sure the base doesn't touch the water. Stir with a wooden spoon until thick - about 15 mins - the curd should coat the back of the spoon. Take care not to overheat or the eggs will start to scramble. Allow to cool, then transfer to jars, refrigerate and use within a week. Makes 2 jars about 800g. To make 1 jar, just halve the quantities.
Good luck...

Thanks Woody,
Thank you for taking the time to look up the recipe up for me, I greatly appreciate your help. My husband's mum used to make it years ago and I loved it. I never did ask her for the recipe though. Last week we got talking about food his mum and my mum used to make and we both agreed that the lemon cheese was scrummy.
I think I will have to make a jar or two this week if I can dig out some old glass jars!
Once again,
many thanks.
