Easy to make and so many uses, I like to mix a few tablespoons with some rum and drizzle that over coconut ice cream. Not to forget it is a nice gift.

Ingredients

  • limes4 -5
  • butter4 ounces

    cut in chunks

  • sugar8 ounces
  • large eggs2

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Soften the limes by rolling them back and forth with your hands on the kitchen counter; you will get more juice out of them if you do this.

  2. 2

    Grate the zest very finely, take care that you don’t grate the white pith.

  3. 3

    Squeeze the juice out of the fruit; you will need 150mL.

  4. 4

    Put the rind (zest), butter, sugar and juice in a heatproof basin.

  5. 5

    Stand this over a pan of boiling water and heat until the sugar and butter have melted.

  6. 6

    Lower the heat, you don’t want the water to boil now.

  7. 7

    Whisk in the eggs, when incorporated use a wooden spoon and stir until the curd has thickened and coats the back of the spoon, 20 to 25 minutes.

  8. 8

    Pour into hot jars, when cool label them.

  9. 9

    Use this recipe also to make orange or lemon curd, just make sure you have 150mL juice Keep in the fridge.
