  • 200 g caster sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the lime juice, eggs, lime zest and caster sugar into the KitchenAid Artisan Power Plus Blender in that order.
  2. Slowly turn the speed dial up to full speed (11) and blend for 4 minutes (it will heat up in this time).
  3. Then turn the dial back down to 6, remove plug from lid and add the cubed butter a little at a time allowing each addition to be thoroughly mixed in.
  4. Blend for a further 30 seconds.
  5. Pot up into a hot sterilised jar/jars – makes 300 mls.
  6. Store in fridge where it will keep for few weeks.

Notes

  • Sterilise jars by washing in hot soapy water (or take straight from dishwasher), fill with boiling water, empty and then place in oven for 20 minutes at 140°C where you leave them until the curd is ready. Washed lids should be sterilised with boiling water and then left to drain. If you don’t have a power blender then follow the instructions in my Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd post (see link above).
