Step by step recipe
1:
Tip 100 g
caster sugar
into a bowl and add the zest of the 3
limes
.
Stir with a whisk and leave for 10 minutes so that the sugar takes up the aromas of the zest.

Add 2
eggs
...
3:
...and mix thoroughly with the whisk.
4:
Add the juice of the 3
limes
. Mix thoroughly again.
5:
Filter the mixture through a fine
sieve
and discard the zest.
6:
Tip the mixture into a pan.
7:
Leave over low heat, whisking gently until it thickens.
If you have an
electronic thermometer
, the temperature should reach around 82°C (180°F).
8:
Leave to cool for 10 minutes, until the temperature goes down to 60°C (140°F), then add 100 g
butter
and, if you wish, 5 drops food colouring.
9:
Mix thoroughly. Your lime (or lemon) curd is ready.
Remarks
For a classic lemon curd, use only 2 lemons (and, of course, no colouring).
