"I have made curd before, but never this one, although for many years having been going to get around to it.I have used the other curds I made in small pastry cases as small tarts.
Very Nice!"

Mmmmmmm, Mmmmmmmmmmm, Good! The directions are nice and clear so I did not mess this up (like my previous attempt at making lemon curd, many years ago). I used some of this as a sponge filling (wow!)to take to a friend's dinner party (I was lucky to get a slice for my own self) and the rest in little puff pastry squares which were quickly polished off by the family. Thank you Tisme.
