Notes: This curd is delicious spread on shortbread or slices of pound cake, or served as a sauce over ice cream. Ingredients:
about 1 1/4 pounds limes, rinsed |
1 cup sugar |
5 large eggs |
1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter or margarine, cut into chunks |
Directions:
1. With a vegetable peeler, pare green part of peel from 4 limes. Put peel and sugar in a food processor and whirl until peel is very finely chopped; let stand, covered, 30 minutes or up to 6 hours. Ream juice from limes. Measure 1 cup; save remainder for other uses.
2. Add the 1 cup lime juice to sugar mixture in food processor; whirl until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture through a fine strainer into a 2- to 3-quart pan, pressing liquid from peel; discard peel. Add eggs and whisk to blend; add butter.
