OLD FASHIONED EGG CUSTARD RECIPE
A big thank you to Zoe who recommended I use her grandmother's egg custard recipe to use up a bunch of our fresh eggs. I don't know about you, but I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE using old recipes. Mainly because the ingredient list is simple, and I typically have all the ingredients on hand.

GET-WELL CUSTARD
Whenever a friend or relative was ailing, my mother-in-law would bake this fresh custard recipe and take it along when she visited. Because she brought folks this special treat so often, our family began calling it "get-well" custard! -Ruth Van Dyke, Traverse City, Michigan

NO-BAKE LEMON CUSTARDS WITH STRAWBERRIES
Ultracreamy but still ethereally light, these individual custards are set with lemon juice rather than eggs, cornstarch or gelatin. They are thick and velvety, but not overly rich, with a bright, clean citrus flavor. Based on a British dessert called a posset, the key is to simmer the cream and sugar before adding the fresh lemon juice, giving the cream a chance to thicken slightly. In this summery version, the custards are served with a topping of syrupy, sugared strawberries and a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper, which adds a gentle spicy note without overwhelming the fruit.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine cream, sugar, lemon zest and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Simmer vigorously until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let sit until mixture has cooled slightly and a skin forms on top, about 20 minutes.
- Stir mixture, then strain through fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup with a spout; discard zest. Pour mixture evenly into six 6-ounce ramekins or small bowls.
- Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 3 hours.
- As the custards chill, prepare the strawberry topping: Toss strawberries and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Let fruit macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the sugar is dissolved.
- To serve, top each lemon custard with some strawberry topping and grind black pepper on top.
