A while back, I decided to make lemon curd.
Now, I am one of those people who does NOT like lemon-y desserts (eeew!), so the thought of producing lemon curd kind of made me wince a little. However, more than anything else, I was curious if I *could* do it.
Cue THIS recipe. This is basically a bunch of lemon with agave, cornstarch, and egg yolks.
Everything started off so watery and then finally got to this:
My little sister took this picture of me looking pretty darn pleased about my "accomplishment." She thinks I'd be too embarrassed to post such a photo -- sweats and all.
As for the curd itself -- it was actually not that "bad." It had lemon flavor but was not sickening. I gave this to "The Ukrainian" to eat with bread, though next time, I might actually put it into a tart or something.
How do you feel about lemon-y desserts?

I have no clue what a person does with curd. Eat it with whey? :)
