'Preserving' old skills

Today Ethan wanted to do some more cooking, so I decided to introduce something completely different. Jams and preserves. Starting with Ethans' personal favourite, Lemon Curd. 



Squeezing the lemons
 


Mixing the eggs





melting the butter and sugar






Add the eggs, then keep on mixing until thickened





Ethan with his finished lemon curd, ideal on hot toast in the morning.


Yummy!!

    That is so cool, well done, I've never made jam or even lemon curd in my life, let alone helped Niamh make it. Maybe that is one for the 'things we must do this year list'!

  2. It doesn't get much better than home made lemon curd. Will you be making the bread and butter to go with it?

  4. Actually..the breadmaking happens today, and as for butter making, I hadnt really thought about it, but now that you mention it, it might be an idea. Will probably give it a go too. :D
