• Lemon Butter – 1877

  

  Love this lemon butter! AKA lemon curd, this one is tangy and sweet and silky smooth, and very simple to make. I used this for some summery tarts, but this recipe would be equally good used in pavlova, between layers of a cake, in a parfait, or by the spoonful with some fresh berries.
