Original Recipe: Baking Bites - Lowfat Lemon Curd
Baker: Brittles
Assessment: Very good. Wonderfully tart and still SUPER sweet so you really can't eat too much. As in... a spoonful is basically enough, therefore I will consider this a health food. (I also threw the ingredients into a calorie calculator and if by some unknown reason you COULD eat the whole thing, it would only be ~330 calories (about the same as a 1/2 cup of some B&J's ice cream)).
Fixes: None yet... but when it says low to bring it to a boil.... I had my stove at about low-medium and it took a WHILE, so just be patient and/or rush it a little bit by turning up the heat :P
Future Deliciousness: I baked these to put the curd into (like a sugar thumbprint cookie), but unfortunately I won't be able to do a full review because I rushed it and put two pans in the oven and the bottom pan (where i'd done all the cookies w/ the lemon curd) had the bottoms seriously burned :( .
Notes: Tried grapefruit curd.... not as good. I ended up adding about half as much again of lemon juice..... grapefruits are good on their own for a reason I guess. Also, I added a drop of red food coloring to fix the color and it ended up not all stirring in so it has red flakes. Kitchenfail.
Extra Credit:
the grapefruit failure makes me so sad :(
