Follow-up to lemon curd!

As you already know, I have a new found love and its name is Lemony Deliciousness. I made my first batch last weekend, served up parfait style with blueberries on top.

This weekend we have a party to attend and I thought it might make a tasty summer treat. So I decided a lemon blueberry tart would be a good thing to try.

Having never made a tart before I had no idea what to expect (or what to do). But I must say that I am VERY pleased with the results. Below is the link to the recipe I followed, be warned... It's very unusual.

I had my doubts. But I was shocked at how easy it was and how good it turned out. I'm thinking of trying it again soon, but instead filling it with some homemade chocolate mint pudding. Mmmmm.

Homemade lemon curd

One word. Amazing.

Aside from taking the time to squeeze and zest the lemons, it basically took care of itself. At 10 minutes it still looked like soup and then voila at 11 minutes it was lemon curd.

Seriously, take the time to do it. Maybe 30 minutes total. Pop it in the fridge and then serve with fresh blueberries.
