Homemade Lemon Curd
A zippy and zesty homemade lemon curd which is a cinch to make in a power blender. But if you don’t mind a bit of stirring, it’s easy to make by hand too. The recipe uses whole eggs, so if you don’t like waste, you’ll be delighted to find no leftover egg whites as there are in so many curd recipes.
Lemon curd is one of those products where I’m unable to eat the commercial stuff, but adore a good homemade version. Sharp, tangy and sweet all at the same time, it’s fabulous spread on hot buttered toast, as an alternative to jam on scones and as a cake filling or topping. It even works beautifully baked into cakes.
I’ve made many fruit curds and have thoroughly enjoyed every one, but lemon curd, being the original is the queen of them all. So when I was sent a box of organic lemons along with a wonderful array of other fruit, nuts and more from 3pFruits, it was lemon curd that first sprang to mind. Christmas was fast approaching and as everyone loves lemon curd (I hope), I planned to make some for gifts.
3p Fruits
3p Fruits is a Spanish company I’ve featured in previous posts. They grow wonderful fruit, nuts and vegetables in the fertile province of Lleida in Catalonia. They are not only organic, but biodynamic too and certified by Demeter. This gets a big thumbs up from me.
Apart from all the environmental benefits of growing biodynamically, you can eat the fruit and veg skins with complete confidence: no pesticide residues here. In the UK, we can access their produce and much more via their online shop: red garlic, short cucumbers, sweet potatoes – I want them all. You can order anywhere within the EU and will receive it within three days of dispatch.
My box was groaning with oranges and lemons, but also apples, kiwi fruit and sweet juicy Marmande tomatoes. I also had a bag of delicious blanched macron almonds, a jar of aromatic honey and a bottle of olive oil. Woohoo, Christmas is here. The lemons were large, yellow and full of juice, perfect for lemon curd.
Lemon Curd
The first time I made lemon curd, I used an Optimum ThermoCook. It was a piece of kit up for review. It was so easy and so successful, I made a second batch almost immediately afterwards. However, I didn’t really get on with the ThermoCook, so I sent it back. It wasn’t worth having such a large piece of equipment taking up space in my kitchen just to make lemon curd.
So I later tried making lemon curd in my power blender. Surprisingly, that works pretty well too. It sure beats standing around stirring for twenty minutes or more. Just chuck in the ingredients and let the blender do the work.
However, it’s really quite straightforward to make lemon curd by hand too, so you’ll find both methods in the recipe card below.
My recipe produces a really zesty lemon curd which is smooth and nicely spreadable. As I’ve already mentioned, I use whole eggs and not just the yolks. The resulting spread is less “eggy” than some others and I think all the nicer for it. It also means you’re not left wondering what to do with a whole load of egg whites.
Lemon Curd Top Tip
To give your lemon curd a really nice yellow colour, I have a top tip for you. Use duck eggs. Duck eggs have a large and really bright yellowy orange yolk. That’s what I used in the photos you can see in most of this post.
In the photo above, I used hens eggs. It makes a big difference to the colour. Luckily, it still tastes fabulous.

Thanks to 3p Fruits for the mixed produce box. There was no requirement to write a positive review and as always, all opinions are my own.
I’d make a lemon drizzle sponge cake filled with lemon curd
I would use the lovely Lemons and attempt to make a Lemon Meringue Pie, I remember my mom making them, but to be honest I don’t think I could ever re-create that memory, so sweet x
Those lovely lemons – maybe I’d try and make my own curd!
so many choices, the tomatos with puff pastry and feta to make a delicious tart, the apples in to a warming winter crumble, lemons and oranges are screaming pancakes at me 🙂
The tomatoes, I would make a ragu with the onions and garlic.
I love big organic tomatoes. These remind me of ones my mum used to grow. They were lovely in a salad with fresh dill and fresh garlic.
Not sure I’ve ever thought to use dill with garlic. I will try it now.
Tomato and tomato soup
The jar of aromatic honey looks lovely. At the moment though much as I would like to be using the lemons for lemon curd I’d be more likely to use them for hot lemon and honey!
Oh dear Sarah, are you not well? Hope you get better soon.
The box looks brilliant, the lemons and lemon curd recipe catch my eye. I have never made that homemade before always bought it homemade from others. It would be great to have a go and have it on toast!
My hubby lovers lemon curd, but I like all kinds. Its so tricky to decide. X
I would use the oranges to make a Pride of Andalucia cake, they look & taste amazing, yet are so simple to make
I’m intrigued by your Pride of Andalucia cake Sarah, it sounds quite exotic.
With fresh limes to make a difference to the ususal marmalade.
The tomatoes – I would add them to a paella, or a pasta sauce
i would have to go for the lemons and make a lemon meringue pie, can’t beat fresh from the oven!
red garlic sounds interesting Wondering how different it is to taste.
I guess garlic connoisseurs could tell the difference Jeremy, but it’s certainly a pretty colour. Not that there was any in the box.
The lemon curd would be amazing for tart and my famous lemon drizzle cake. Yummy
I would use the Honey first as l love honey on my porridge and on toast
Apples – I feel an Eve’s pudding coming on!
I would try to make the lemon curd from the lemons
I would love to use the lemon to try make lemon slices
The lemons caught my eye, and having 30+ chickens we always have an abundance of eggs, so it would have to be a lemon meringue pie.
I am so envious of your abundance of real eggs Mandi – how wonderful.
I like the look of the Marmande tomatoes and I’d make a salad
I’ll definitely be trying that lemon curd recipe, it looks absolutely delicious
The apples would be my first choice to use for a delicious apple crumble for Sunday lunch.
I think I would make a fresh lemon loaf cake first as we all love lemon cake and it tastes so much better when you make it using fresh rather than shop bought juice.
I’d be making a lemon meringue pie, and roasting those delicious tomatoes with fresh rosemary
Lemons…… and I would make a lovely tangy lemon meringue pie…
Definitely the Apples I would make Apple and rhubarb dumplings

Apples are my favourite fruit! The fresher the better so you know in a produce box they will be fantastic
I’d make lemon curd, love lots of fruit curds which are either unheard of or underrated by many people. I also like making fruit cheeses. So many lovely things in the boxes, yummy.
I’m a big fan of curs too Suzanne and have made many different flavours. I’ve also made fruit butters, but not cheese – yet!
Lemon curd, so retro – takes me back to my childhood! x
Sun dried tomatoes and then a juice with the oranges and apples!

Oh, I’m not surprised Catriona, it sounds gorgeous.
The apples would make apple pie my family would love one
The oranges, I might attempt marmalade
The way you’ve described the lemons has made me think of lemon drizzle cake, but I also like the idea of having the oranges fresh in a salad with beetroot
Cakes are always a winner with me Cheryl but I do like the idea of your orange and beetroot salad.
I’d have to agree with you and go with the lemons! Your lemon curd recipe looks fantastic and despite making my own jams for several years I’ve never made my own lemon curd! The marmalade tomatoes look good too! You can’t beat organic tomatoes, great just roasted and served on crusty artisan bread.
Ah Lana, as a preserver, you just have to try lemon curd 🙂
The lemons and I’d make the lemon curd
Apples I would make a apple and cinnamon tart

the lemons, I’d make a lemon loaf!
I love almond and I think with the box of fruits I would first cook an apple bakewell obviously incorporating the almonds for the paste
Ooh, you’ve got me dreaming about apple Bakewell now Kim. It sounds delicious, especially with freshly ground almonds.
lemons. I’d make a lemon drizzle cake for a real treat 🙂
Ooooh the lemons and apples to make lemon curd and apple crumble! It sounds awful but my nan used to make it and it’s divine! Very naughty but yummy!

I think I would use the apples to make an apple betty, but there’s so much potential in this box 🙂
I am also a huge fan of Lemon Curd, but those tomatoes look lush too!
I’d love to use the red garlic I use garlic so much in my cooking but not used red one beforehand tomatoes love fresh tomatoes on the vine you can’t beat them
Well you’ve inspired me to have a go at making lemon curd. I’m sure it tastes so much nicer than anything in the shops.
Yay, go for it Tracy 🙂

The lemons look so juicy, perfect for a lemon drizzle cake. I had no idea that lemon curd is so easy to make either. You have inspired me to give it a go!!
Oh I do hope you try it. Homemade really is so much nicer and apart from a bit of stirring, it’s a synch.
I’d make tomato and chilli salsa!
Juicy Marmande tomatoes, would use these for a lovely stir fry with beef. All family would love it 🙂

The lemon curd looks great. It reminds me of my childhood and I would recreate some lemon curd tarts.

At this time of year it would definitely be apples! I would make apple pie, apple crumble and I would make apple sauce to have a nice change with the roast dinner on Sunday!
Happy New Year!
I really like the look of the tomatoes, I wouldn’t make anything with them, eat them as they are with some lovely fresh crunchy bread and butter. Bliss
I love lemons, use them in cakes, stews, and of course in drinks, so lovely to know you can use the skin with no risk of ingesting anything nasty!

Homemade lemon curd is very hard to beat Ruth 🙂
The kiwi fruit sounds amazing! I’d love to be able to make a delicious spread with it!!

The tomatoes – love tomato and chilli chutney
The lemon curd has clouded my vision – thats all I can think of now!
Haha, there’s only one remedy – you’d better make some pronto 😉

I do love a good citrus curd though…. thoroughly recommend adding a couple of oranges and limes to the lemons for a different tang!
Oh my Kate. I get the feeling you’re a fruit curd expert. I do agree rhubarb is rather good, but so is raspberry and passionfruit is amazing and …
I would use the honey first – adding it to my porridge for breakfast.
Happy Holidays to you and your family, Choclette.
Now I am off to make myself a batch of lemon curd!
Thank you so much Angie and I hope you have a wonderful time too – enjoy that curd 😀
I like lemon curd that i like to ad to warm apple pie.

Thanks very much Nadia. Maybe a goal for you next year is to try and make a dairy free version? Merry Christmas to you too and thank you for all your lovely comments.
What a great idea – I love lemon curd too, you can’t beat homemade!
I would have to go with the lemons and have a go at your lemon curd recipe. I’ve never even tried home-made lemon curd and would love to give it a go. Win or not this is one for me to bookmark.

Spiced Mango Curd simpy spread on toast or crackers
