Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy


My chickens are really getting into their stride now and so I've had a glut of eggs to use up of late!  This evening I hard boiled eight eggs (they're still quite small) for picnic sandwiches tomorrow and I also made lemon curd for the first time in ages to use a few extra eggs.  I used to dislike lemon curd hugely but my tastes are definitely changing as I get older and I love it now!   There's a recipe for honey curd in the book I used the lemon curd recipe from which I found interesting, never seen that before, worth a try me thinks.  I also want to try passionfruit curd too, yummy!  ;o)

A comment! And I thought I was just talking to myself all this time! lol I like the sound of lime. I've got that book you mentioned, the one about making jam in the micro, on request from the library, looking forward to cooking up a jammy storm., ;o)

Usually I'm too busy wiping the drool from my keyboard to remember leaving a comment - I'll try harder!

The book's great and has made me a lot more adventurous in my jam making as if it's awful you've not wasted lots of money, time, effort or ingredients

No worries, it has to be said I'm a bit random blog comments wise too! I'll take the drool as a compliment though! ;oD

Looking forward to the book arriving, we don't eat pots and pots of jam so making smaller amounts is a very appealing idea.
