Some Winter Sunshine

~ Lemon Curd Tarts ~


Zest of apprx. 3 Large Lemons
4 teaspoons

2/3 cup Lemon Juice

5 Eggs

And 1 cup of Sugar
All into a blender.

Melt a stick of butter
(I defrost-micro it right in a creamer)

Cool

Blend lemon, egg & sugar on low until blended

Pour butter in a slow steady stream
While still mixing on low

Pour your mix into a heavy pan
GET A BOOK or SOMETHING TO READ
And start to cook over low to medium heat
STIRRING CONSTANTLY with whisk / fork
Until mix thickens a little like pudding.

Trust me on having something nearby to read
You will be stirring a long time

Make a pie crust dough

and cut to fit mini muffin pans

Bake the crusts by themselves on 350F until browned

Fill a baggie with your curd
Snipping the tip off
And fill the cooled pastry cups

Top with a Berry or a flower
Or just Plain !

But please DO
Have it with Tea !
