Ah, lemon curd! The Meyer lemons have been begging to be used, and so the doctor and I decided to do dueling recipes: I from my preserving bible, and she from a home recipe. We both cut the sugar considerably, and created lovely (and very different) curds - mine was eggier and more lemony, and hers was lighter and more delicate. Needless to add, both batches were gone within the week, and I now have "orders" to produce more for various friends and family.
I'd like to try adding a bit of cardamom the next time for a more complex curd. But first, I have orange marmalade (with a touch of coriander!) on the brain, and will be tackling both this Sunday, when the kitchen will transform into the church of curd and citrus....
