I was lucky enough to score a bag of limes from my parents' orchard, and so I made some citrusy tarts to take to a party last weekend. Tom's Mum often makes these, and so I pretty much stole her idea, but they were nowhere near as good. You could say, in fact, that my tarts were extremely 'rustic'. But the filling was really nice, and we've been eating it on toast this week. I made my usual lemon curd recipe, but substituted the 5 lemons with 4 limes, and 2 lemons instead. The result is a little more tart-tasting, and lighter-coloured mixture.
I really enjoyed this recent post on angry chicken about favourite homemade foods (and her lemon curd in particular) bringing the most joy. And I so agree- I could happily eat lemon curd every morning for the rest of my life.
