PALEO/REFINED SUGAR FREE/DAIRY FREE/GLUTEN FREE
Being a lover of all things citrus, nothing can ever quite replace lemon curd. Lemon curd is one of those tangy but sweet sauces that is so unlike any other sauce I’ve tried.
It’s sweetened using honey which is a classic combination when paired with lemon. This recipe is definitely a treat and one I’d use in special occasion food.
When I went paleo, this was one of the first treats I made. I’ve since made this into lemon bars (recipe to come!), lemon meringue pie and also a lemon and raspberry tart. I’ve tweaked the recipe a little, and lowered the amount of honey over the years. The possibilities are endless and this recipe will have you choosing lemon over chocolate every time.
Enjoy this recipe as part of my February series of a recipe a day and don’t forget to tag me in your creations – @elorahh and #theshrinkingviolet
I love to see what you make!
