  • About

This is a staple on our set lunch menu, offering an abundance of flavour and requiring a fair bit of work, but not reliant on any very expensive ingredients. Damsons bring much-needed tartness so keep that in mind if swapping it out for another jam and make sure it’s not too sweet.

Ingredients

Lemon Curd

  • 4 free-range organic eggs
  • 180 g caster sugar
  • 100 ml</

Method

Start by making the curd. Combine the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and butter in a large heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Whisk the mixture until it reaches 78°C, then pass through a fine sieve. Cover the surface with a layer of cling film and chill overnight.
