Cake as penitential duty? Where do I sign up?

Audrey came back from church, the primary kids had harvest festival there, after the service they bag the goodies up and distribute to all the old age pensioners - yes we got our bag - with a cake!
I ate some just for you Raka but it was one of those horrible brown things with dried fruits but I did eat a bit as a penance.
We also got a jar of homemade lemon curd so I ate that too,not on bread just off a spoon, now I feel really sick but it was sooooo good.
Hey I might start going if they feed me.

Ooooooh, lemon curd. I'm one of thew few Americans who actually know what lemon curd is! Recalling my time in England in my youth, I fondly remember consuming mass quantities of lemon curd spread on... well.. everything. A great failing of American culture, to be sure, that we don't have it over here. When my Mom was younger, she would make some every year or so, God/Creator/Odin/Danu/Zeus/Ishtar/Buddha bless her, but it's been a decade or more since I've tasted it!

It was as good - or better than you remember Earl, get a recipe and make some, then if it's good SELL IT!

LOL all the recipes call for juicing and zesting the lemons. I'm tempted to cheat and just buy bottled lemon juice but all the recipes say that's a no-no!

Preparation time less than 30 mins

Cooking time 10 to 30 mins







Ingredients
4 lemons, rind and juice
4 eggs
110g/4oz butter
450g/1lb sugar




Method
1. Grate rind of lemons and squeeze out juice. Put sugar, rind and juice, butter and beaten eggs into a large basin on top of a pan of simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until thick and curd coats the back of the spoon. Pour into warm sterile jars, cover, seal and label. Refrigerate.

THEN SELL ALL (10% of net profit to e so I can fund the bowel cancer unit & my local hospital).

Thanks for the recipe. I'm not a salesman. That takes the right kind of forceful, dynamic and charismatic personality. Not me, hel no.
