Title: Lemon Curd
Post by: stooriefit on August 20, 2010, 12:54:11
A couple of days ago a friend made lemon curd for the first time carefully following the recipe,
it seemed OK when she put it in the jars , but as it cooled it separated.
What do you experts think went wrong?. Can she reheat it and get it to set properly?
Thanks
Jock
