Lemon and Elderflower Curd

Continuation of elderflower theme, homemade curd and more recipes to enjoy it with

Jun 21, 2024

For some reason my stash of this year’s homemade elderflower cordial is dwindling quicker than I thought it would. It’s been going down really nicely, maybe because hubby took a liking to it as well.

But there are so many things I wanted to use it in… I thought I better act quickly.

We haven’t had lemon curd for absolute ages, mainly as we didn’t consume eggs for a while and I never tried vegan version.

Organic, local eggs are occasionally back on the menu now and I thought I would try making my good old lemon curd recipe but with addition of elderflower cordial.

Depending on your personal preferences, you can make it either on a tangy side or embrace flavour of elderflower and go sweet and floral. There is also option of somewhere in between!

Curd is such a simple preserve to make and it’s a shame that so many people find it a bit intimidating. Apparently, the fear of scrambled eggy mess is real .

Well, fear not. As long as you’re invested in curd making and it’s got your full attention for all of 15 minutes, you really can’t go wrong.

Tempted yet? You are but you don’t have elderflower cordial? Well, you can always use shop bought cordial or make my lemon curd recipe instead.

Below you’ll find few recipes that I thought might go well with addition of some homemade curd. Enjoy!

Until next time!
