Lemon Curd

Recipe

19 Feb

1/2 c. butter
Grated peel of 1 lemon
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 c. sugar
5 egg yolks
1 whole egg

Preparation :
TIPS: Because of its high acidic content, lemon curd will keep
well when refrigerated. Be sure to thoroughly cook the curd or it
will break down and thin out upon standing.

1. Place butter into a metal bowl and set over simmering water in a wide
saucepan or skillet. When melted, add the lemon peel, lemon juice
and sugar.

2. Using an electric beater or whisk, beat in the egg yolks and the
whole egg while the mixture continues to cook. Whisk until thick and
smooth, about 20 minutes. Mixture should be as thick as any cooked
pudding.

3. Cool. Turn into jars and cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Yield: 3 cups.

Good served as a filling for white cakes, meringue layers, or sweet
yeast rolls and Danish pastry, or mixed with whipped cream to fill tiny
dessert cream puffs.

and dinner party menus across that country. This version was printed
recently by the New York times.

baking pan withsides at least 2 inches high, such as a springform pan.

Place the dates in a saucepan and cover with water (about 1-1/2 cups).
Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Add the
baking soda (the mixture will foam) and set aside.

In a bowl, cream the cut up butter, sugar and eggs, adding the eggs
one at a time. Gently mix in the flour, salt and vanilla. Stowly stir
in the baking powder and 1/4 cup of the liquid from cooking the
dates, until the cake mixture resembles thick pancake batter. Drain
off remainder of date cooking liquid and discard. Stir in the dates.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cooked in the center.

TO PREPARE CARAMEL SAUCE: Combine the butter, whipping cream, brown
sugar and vanilla. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer, and cook for 3
minutes.

TO SERVE: Drizzle some of the sauce over the cake as it is cooling.
