Lemon curd can be used as filling between birthday cake layers or to sandwich cookies together.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my lemon curd lumpy?<\/h3>\n<p>Lemon curd must be heated gently and stirred continuously to ensure that everything is mixed well and the eggs don&#8217;t scramble. If there are only a few clumps, use a sieve to get rid of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does my lemon curd have a greenish tint?<\/h3>\n<p>Since lemon juice is acidic, use only nonreactive utensils and bowls like stainless steel, ceramic or glass. Cast iron, copper or aluminum can react with the acidic juice and cause an off-color and a metallic taste.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I tell when lemon curd is finished cooking?<\/h3>\n<p>As the lemon curd just starts to boil, you will see it begin to thicken. Continue to stir and boil for about two minutes, until it coats the back of a spoon. When chilled, it should have a pudding-like consistency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lemon curd is a perfect balance of sweet and tart, just right for making\u00ac\u2020lemon
