A tangy zesty lemon curd which is a cinch to make in the Optimum Thermocook. But if you don’t mind a bit of stirring, it can easily be made by hand too. The recipe uses whole eggs, so if you don’t like waste, you’ll be delighted to not have leftover egg whites as you find in 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 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 the thumbs up from me.
Apart from all the environmental benefits of growing biodynamically, the fruit and veg skins can be eaten 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. Orders can be made anywhere within the EU and received within 3 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.
Optimum ThermoCook
I thought I’d try using my new Optimum ThermoCook to make the lemon curd. As it’s Christmas, the Thermocook is currently on offer for £537, that’s a whopping £358 off. It was so easy and so successful, I made a second batch almost immediately afterwards. It sure beats standing around stirring for twenty minutes or more – just bung in all of the ingredients and let the Thermocook work its magic. I based my recipe on the one that comes with the ThermoCook, but adapted it as I like lemon curd to be really zesty and didn’t want a spare egg white hanging around.

Lemon Curd
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 look great.
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!

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’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.

Ooh yes I do like your idea of toasted almonds added to lemon curd – lovely 🙂
I love lemons in particular and often make a lemon curd myself. I love lemon meringue pie as well.

The oranges as I have always wanted to make my own marmalade.
The kiwi fruit sounds amazing! I’d love to be able to make a delicious spread with it!!
The gorgeous oranges caught my eye as I am starting a monthly preserving course in January and marmalade is our first topic. I think I’d be tempted to make an orange and mint salad with a dusting of cinammon which goes so well with all sorts of things
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 😉
The lemons. I ran out of lemon curd at the beginning of October but have been so busy with Christmas etc I need to make some more. 🙂

Oranges, Lemons and blanched almonds…. I would make a citrus meringue pie and use some of the almonds in the pastry base!
I love curd and love experimenting with different fruits in them….. One of my favourites is rhubarb which I first made a couple of years ago (tastes like rhubarb and custard in a jar)…. and then apple and blackberry curd is pretty good too. 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 …
The apples. would make apple pie
I would use the honey first – adding it to my porridge for breakfast.
Happy Holidays to you and your family, Choclette.

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.
