Lemon Curd (or Lemon Butter) is an old-fashioned citrus preserve. Fresh lemon juice and butter are combined with eggs and sugar to create a deliciously smooth, creamy and rich Lemon Conserve. Use Lemon Curd to fill a Lemon Meringue Pie, a filling for a cake, as a spread for sandwiches or toast or as a topping for ice cream. Try it today - you'll love it!

@quirkyQLDfamily Use it like you would Jam - put it on scones, use it on toast/sandwiches or use it as a filling for a pie or cake :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@orangedac Believe it or not, what you see in my videos is only a window into my diet. I don't eat this kind of stuff all the time - and most of what I cook for KZbin gets gobbled up by my friends and family ;) But thanks for your concern...

[@sagapoetic8990]

Anything with lemon is wonderful. Love your family recipes

[@OnePotChefShow]

@cupcakelovable Actually I'm Australian - but I'm glad you enjoy my recipes ;)

[@jogreenland2546]

This guy is great.. i love his recipes

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

I love this stuff. I buy a jar every month. Now I might make it.

[@explosionsandstuff7787]

This sounds amazing, I love the taste of lemon.

[@jema-marietwin9747]

This guy is fantastic!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@creamcandy25 You might be able to make Orange Curd or Lime Curd - but this is really a citrus-based recipe. It won't really work with other types of fruit ;)

[@MargaretJean-ey9hv]

Queensland, Australia This is the BEST, EASIEST & most ECONOMICAL recipe for Lemon Curd. ❤ your style. Thank you so much ❤❤

[@JumbaFan]

I just made this! I had to figure out the butter measurements because I'm in America, but that was easy enough. We can buy lemon curd around here, and it's very good, but I thought I'd give this a try to compare the two. The homemade stuff is definitely better! Thank you for posting this!

[@ziamaysa4648]

I love this chef one of the best ones, i have made so many recipes and never failed. Thank you so much

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Pvjungco No, do not use a metal bowl for this, as the lemon juice can react with metal bowls.

[@amish725]

Such a simple, yet delicious recipe. Another winner!

[@KawaiiOwO]

Such a lovely recipe! And the fact that you only have to cook it for ten-fiftheen minutes is amazing! I tried another recipe once and it literally took an hour for the mass to cook down to the right consistency!

[@BethyKable]

Quick and easy...lovely recipe !

[@Ffojt]

I admire your passion for food so much! Love your vids!!

[@pierreandre6120]

Well that was fun. Thanks loads. pierre from New Mexico

[@lucynorman1780]

You sir are amazing!!! Love, love, love your recipes.....❤️💕❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏

[@walidsliem1]

yes its so good

[@OnePotChefShow]

@TheVittleVlog Thanks - I'm glad you liked it :)

[@marthapettitt7589]

Thank you... you have a very nice voice and encouraging style. Am going to try this with each different variety of lemon in Fiji!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@yedon68 Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@beldengi]

I made a bottle of lemon butter for my daughter and she loved it so much she ate the whole bottle in one sitting.

[@micky3049]

Heidi Feldman lol it’s what shown in the video haha :)

[@9aspengold5]

Oh, how I love Lemon Curd. In England I used to spread it on toast all the time. Thank you

[@OnePotChefShow]

@9aspengold5 It's wonderful on toast first thing in the morning - a nice fresh citrus zing to start your day :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@SaiE8 No it was 3 whole eggs (lightly beaten) - the yolks are usually fairly orange - maybe Australian chickens eat lots of carrots or something LOL

[@wildgooseman7047]

That looks delicious! Love lemon curd (lemon flavoured things in general are yum) and will be giving this a go.

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Ffojt Thanks - glad you enjoy my videos :)

[@clouda9]

Thank you for this delicious tut from Lemon Curd. My mouth is watering!

[@deniseview4253]

I've been wanting to make lemon curd. Yum😋

[@nathanhallisey441]

Looks great.

[@juliespencer1164]

Thanks for the Video. as ever very good way of making the lemon curd.

[@OnePotChefShow]

@digit432 Yes - once you start stirring, you must keep stirring until all the ingredients have combined and the curd has thickened ;)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@moonlily27 LOL I don't know how that started - I didn't always do that!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@prettymel66 Yes, you can use this in Jam Drops :)

[@arthurb8924]

Perfect!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@MissRosieHart You're very welcome :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@MubarakBalboa Yes, but unsalted is best when making something that is sweet ;)

[@deniseview4253]

I've been wanting a curd recipe. Never heard it called a butter or jam. :). thanks for sharing.

[@TheVittleVlog]

Looks really good!

[@FrootbatBat]

I really appreciate you adding I can use the bottled lemon juice. So many tutorial/recipes want fresh lemons and never mention bottled lemon juice. Thanks for the video!

[@Akhahly]

@OnePotChefShow Thank you for this reply - I was hoping to use lemon curd as a cake filling for my Grandmother's 80th birthday... Now that I know I can, I can't wait to try this recipe!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Irinandify Absolutely - Lemon Curd makes a great ice cream topping :)

[@anniepinchin8018]

Brilliant!

[@darbyshit]

arhh looks soo lovely thanks, im gonna try and make this

[@OnePotChefShow]

@pointeskatecybunny Use whole egg. This recipe makes about 2 cups of Lemon Curd. There is no need to cook it longer, as the curd will thick on cooling. Just follow the instructions ;)

[@kerplunk76]

omg my granny made batches of this as a kid!

[@michaelchamberlain1441]

Tina Sharp same here back in 1965 😏

[@OnePotChefShow]

@lhadyviolet11 Sure you can request something - if it's something I like I might make a video of it ;)

[@FifiNavarro]

I love your family´s recipes!! :D

[@foxtail803]

Great easy recipe

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Djmorley1169 Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Tresisme1]

OMGosh .. Looks sooooo YUMMYYY. My mouth is getting all watery just thinking about the tartness. Yummy

[@OnePotChefShow]

@ZivEstVeritas I'm not really sure - I started doing it ages ago and it seems to have become my "thing" LOL

[@qatriona8]

I love this mixed half and half with plain yoghurt

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

Incredible 😊😊

[@OnePotChefShow]

@flyerdude02 I've never tried it so I'm not sure - All I can suggest is that you give it a go and see how it turns out :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@digit432 You need to keep stirring - the butter will float to the top, and then melt. That's why you must keep stirring. Did you do the stovetop or microwave version?

[@OnePotChefShow]

[@TZ2OurLittleDogToo]

excellent! We are subscribing! thanks. I have always wanted to know how to make lemon curd - now that' we've found you, we are checking out all your other wonderful recipes!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@SaiE8 They have orange yolks ;)

[@DeejayMorley]

i remember making this at school years ago lol.. and i forgot all about it and how to make it but thanks to you i remember.. so last night not long after you posted this vid i had to try and and it was really nice but i added it into old jam jars i had left.. well anyway thank you so much for this vid its nice to do home made stuff its cheaper and at lest we know whats being adding into it... Thanks!!!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Jiwan89 Thanks :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Farlachan You need to use citrus fruit for this recipe to work. The acid in the juice makes the whole this work. So it's lemons, limes or maybe oranges - but Lemon works best :)

[@alpmaster]

I love how Brits and Aussies say "Sauce P'n" :D

[@yedon68]

...great presentation....smart charming...!

[@julieankhan.2801]

That would be great for a Victorian sponge cake!!! I bet home made is so much better.

[@OnePotChefShow]

@blackcraft2 Yes - this is the perfect filling for Lemon Meringue Pie ;)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@madlynda You're welcome ;)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@GoMetricToday I've always love Lemon Curd - brings back a lot of nice memories ;)

[@stellabella5269]

Yummy! ❤🎉❤

[@OnePotChefShow]

@karlphillips1 I hope you enjoy making it with them :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@KarinElegance As I said in the video, use it on toast, sandwiches or as the filling for a Lemon Meringue Pie ;)

[@mayonnaiseeee]

Looks awesome. Thank you =]

[@eddyfieldhouse]

Thank you sir

[@Sirkus]

This recipe is JUST what i need! Just a quick question: Will regular sugar work, or will it be too ruff? :)

[@iLikeCookie88]

You should have your own show!

[@maraskywalkeriii]

I like to use a bain marie (pot in pot with water in it) for my lemon curd, there by avoiding the whole scary glass bowl thing. Fantastic idea with the cold water and I must try the microwave idea when I have my next impromptu tea party. Lovely!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@pocketbikefreak666 LOL you'll love it!

[@OnePotChefShow]

@Aquamarina13 Noone has ever told me that - but I like it :)

[@tahitinui2010]

Have you ever done a lime curd? If so, what would be the lime juice amount considering it is more acidy? I have oodles of limes.

[@OnePotChefShow]

@LidsAreFun Thanks - give it a go sometime - you'll love it :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@NewbtasticGaming Give it a go - you'll love it :)

[@wednesdaychild1156]

well done,

[@darbyshit]

@OnePotChefShow just made it like 2 hours ago it well lush gonna put it on my toast in the morning lol

[@OnePotChefShow]

@fezan84 You're welcome :)

[@OnePotChefShow]

@darbyshit Let me know how it turns out ;)

[@53531640]

I have always wondered about how this is made. It is so yummy. Put it in small glass jars with homemade decorative labels and you would have great gifts for family or friends.

[@purplepauline]

you are LOOKING GOOD have to try this

[@belgnbor]

Stir a bit into some plain or vanilla yogurt, YUM

[@maryrenu2927]

Looks so good and easy I’m going to try it one question can you put the butter in glass jars or like you did in a plastic container? Thank you from Australia

[@oliverrespicio09]

Can you try to make a lemon meringue pie!? It would make anyone weep with gratitude!

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

Great channel. How long is it good for?

[@queeenbiitch]

i like ur timtam cup lol :D

[@OnePotChefShow]

@gaspard281 It's good stuff :)

[@SMyD77777]

@simpsiano123 In a way, yes. when something curdles it means that you've let the mixture heat up too much and the mixture gets clumpy and starts to get really thick, it starts to turn into a solid rather than staying in liquid form...

[@beldengi]

The one thing missing is the zest of one lemon. Makes all the difference to that zingy taste. Also use a metal container to avoid damage to the glass.

[@sharong9563]

Ty

[@OnePotChefShow]

@TheKillerBurrito Tastes even better :)

[@elizabethshaw734]

I still make my own jam and lemon curd. :-)
