Re: Lemon curd, lemon cheese

My mum made lemon cheese in the late 40s and 50s. I recall it needs eggs.
I don't think there are eggs in lemon curd.

Re: Lemon curd, lemon cheese

I like to hear that pepole still do make things like this......I do think that home made /home cooked food does taste better.......and sometimes it doesn't work out more expensive....but I reckon that home made lemon cheese would be more expensive, but then if it tastes good, I suppose it is worth it,

I tend to buy that kind of stuff when we visit farmers markets, but it is very hit and miss. Sometimes the produce is lovely but then a few times I have been disappointed.

I always thought that lemon curd and lemon cheese were the same thing.

I love it on toast.

Lemon cheese is too die for. You can buy it from ASDA and it is locally produced. It is expensive though about £1.40 a jar.

Yes, I could never sort out the difference either Lilly. I love it on hot cross buns.

Actually, on request, am going to make some this weekend, used to make it regularly years ago, and have had to go into my mum's recipe book she wrote out for my bottom drawer. (wonder if anyone has one now ?)

3/4 lb granulated sugar.
6 ozs. butter
4 eggs.
3 lemons.

Melt butter in pan, add sugar, grated lemon rind and lemon juice. See that your sugar is thoroughly dissolved, then add well beaten eggs and keep stirring 'till mixture thickens. Pour into warm jars and cover whilst still warm.

Recommends to be made in double pan ... now this is my conundrum .. can't quite remember whether I had a double pan, and brother seems to have thrown my mums out. Think I used to make it in a single pan, but taking care to do things gently, otherwise could finish up with scrambled eggs. Makes about 2 - 1 lb jars (metric conversion available on request)

All recipes are similar, just varying amounts of the ingredients. Really easy and just love the fresh tang of the lemons. Eeeew, can't wait now.
