LIME CURD
We ALL have had lemon curd - on scones, biscuits, and tarts, but this is an altogether different taste sensation. It isn't really tart (but definitely NOT sweet. Before you start. sterilize enough small jars with metal caps, (OLD jelly jars) - to hold 4 cups of curd. I usually just put them through the dishwasher on HOT, and leave them in there to stay warm. Will hold in refrigerator about 2 weeks.
