Lemon Curd
This smooth and luscious lemon curd can be used as a filling between cake layers or to fill cookies, cupcakes and tarts. The fresh and fruity flavor of the lemon curd is perfect to use as a topping on a cheesecake. It is important to use only non-reactive pots and utensils to cook lemon curd, due to the chemical reaction of the acids in the lemon juice with untreated metals. Stainless pots and whisks, as well as anodized aluminum and glass are recommended. The storage container for the filling should also be non-reactive. I used a pot with a porcelain interior to avoid the reaction of the lemon juice and the metal. I changed my spatulas and whisk for one made out of silicon material....
