Have you ever bought one of those expensive jars of lemon- (or lime or grapefruit) curd and thought it’s tangy yumminess must be super hard to make or have expensive ingredients because of how much it costs? I am here to help you realize the simplicity of the recipe - and save you from the errors of your ways, Friend! These curds are so super simple to make and delicious and make great gifts to give friends and eat on toast - the list goes on and on because of how much I love this stuff! 


If you do TikTok you can watch my one-minute video for making curd here.

Otherwise: here you go. Enjoy!

Ingredients 
Zest from six lemons
¾ c fresh lemon juice (juice those lemons you just zested)
¾ c white sugar
4 eggs (or just the yolks for an even smother curd), beaten
10 drops Lemon vitality essential oil or Citrus Fresh Vitality essential oil
½ c butter, cubed
Pinch of salt


Directions
1. Put all ingredients into the top part of a double boiler (or a smaller pan inserted into a larger pan, with the larger pan having water in it.) While you can do it in a single pan, you risk cooking your egg a little.)
2. With medium-low heat, bring to a summer, whisking constantly.

3. Whisk while simmering for two minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
4. Put in cute containers to give to friends, or store in the fridge for your own yummy use!

A journey in joyful living

 
I'm a mom of eight, with #9 on the way, living life with intention. Control of my time is more important to me than getting a dollar through punching a time clock because it allows me to spend time on the important things like my church, building a strong community, and guiding my children. Every Sunday, we have as many as 30 people join us for dinner and fellowship - and I love every minute of it. I have an amazing life. 

But it takes work and intention to have this life - it means eating real foods, and using supplements and home care products that support our bodies in good health. It means managing sleep, stress, and good mental health practices. It means watching what we keep around our personal space. Let me help you get a life you love too - let's look together at what your daily activities look like and what you need to embrace - or let go - to reset and renew your love-affair with the life you live; let's form a friendship that encourages you and nurtures your spirit. 

XO -
