Lemon Curd

Wednesday April 17 th and two recipes to make today, Lemon Curd and A heavenly parfait of orange  and lemon.
I shall start with the lemon curd as this is needed in the second recipe.
Mr Slater makes cooking sound idyllic e.g. ".........the timeless bonhomie of a tray of warm oatcakes being taken from the oven..........the intoxicating, ..........almost hallucinogenic hit.........from grinding cardamom "
I guess I need to calm down more when cooking, not rush to prepare but take time and pleasure - and so I did when making my pot of lemon curd. A slight panic when I worried it wasn't thickening - but it did, it just needed a little more time. And yes Mr Slater you are right, a good sharp grater is essential and next on my list of " kitchen to buys "
Verdict on lemon curd - scrummy.

 And this evening on to A heavenly parfait of orange and lemon.
All I can say is HEAVENLY HEAVENLY HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!!

This desert was so delicious I was eating it out of the bowl before it even reached the freezer.
