Homemade Lemon Curd (recipe below)
Homemade Lemon Curd
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 c. sugar
5 T. butter
4 egg yolks
Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan (except for the butter) and heat on med-high. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, scraping the sides as well, until it thickens and sticks to the spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 T. at a time.
Transfer to a bowl and cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before using. It will thicken and set up as it refrigerates.
While the curd is in the refrigerator, prepare Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry shells. These are as easy as heating the oven to 425 degrees, and setting them on a baking sheet. No thawing necessary. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Look how much they puff up! The steam during baking makes the layers rise about 8 times higher.
Garnish with your favorite seasonal fruits and serve.

I can’t wait to make these, however I noticed the measurement for the butter wasn’t included in the list of ingredients. I’m guessing it’s a half a stick of butter by the photo? Thank you again for your wonderful ideas!
Michele! Thanks for noticing that!! I’ve corrected the recipe and it should say 5T butter. I hope you love these as much as I do 🙂
Can the lemon curd be canned?
I haven’t canned it before, but have friends who have! I think you can use a water bath canner to process them.
You can freeze it
Do you have a powerful blender? I make my lemon curd in my Blendtec. It takes half the time and is even easier if you can imagine that!
I have a ninja. I wouldn’t even know how to make it in the blender! Will have to look it up!
These look good! Love puff pastry. Visiting from Two Uses Tuesday.
