finally, a success story switching it up from the normal recipes. let it be known i am a versatile woman.

LEMON CURD

ok this took way to long so buy it next time instead. but if not, use this recipe:

ingredients:

1. zest 3 lemons and try not to slice finger using dull kitchen knife 🙂
2. chop zest into small pieces (as fine as you can manage)
3. juice the 3 lemons (about 1/2 cup but more or less)
4. mix sugar and zest together
5. cream the butter, and add in zest + sugar mix
6. then add in the eggs, lemon juice and salt
7. try (unsuccessfully) not to panic that it curdled when you mixed it all together
8. pour into saucepan and cook over low(ish) heat ***ok so you don’t want to make this weird lemon scrambled eggs, so keep it low, but not too low bc you need the butter to melt so its not curdled anymore… so about a 4 on the stovetop scale)
9. constantly whisk and be mad at yourself you don’t do arms more because after 25ish minutes you get tired
10. keep whisking another 15 minutes because its not thick enough
11. cool off for a bit, get annoyed its still not thick enough, put back on heat and whisk some more
12. watch criminal minds while doing so, despite spooky dreams you keep having
13. ok actually take off heat and let cool overnight, it finally thickened sos
14. eat with spoon
