Home made is always better.

Yummy Home made goodies!

I have been  busy in the kitchen, making some of my mothers recipes of the most Divine jams, marmalade, pickled onions and lemon curd.
I wish you could taste the end result! ...mmmm simply delish!!
I tried my luck at a local "Organic Market:", but people aren't willing to pay a bit more for homemade goodies, it is very sad, because home made is always better!! I'll rather give it all away to people I love!!
I love to do things my mom used to do, it makes me feel like she is in the room with me, and we are chatting along, like when she was still here. It makes me feel happy-sad. You know what I mean? I am very sure she is thinking..."Aaaah, well done Trace!" or "..Mmmm, good idea"
Comforting memories...

Here is the recipe for my Mommy's Divine Lemon Curd:

• 6 Large lemons (rind, juice and pips)
• 350 g Butter
• 900 g Castor Sugar
• 8 large eggs beaten

Mommy's Preserving Book, thanks Mom!

Place all together in medium sized pot at medium heat and stir until butter and sugar has dissolved
Pour through strainer and discard the rind and pips
Place back into pot, cook, stirring frequently for about 40 min (until it thickens)


Pour into clean ,dry ,warm bottles.  Will keep for about 4 months. makes 5 med jars.
Easy...and absolutely Yum!!
Enjoy....let me know what you think....
