There's nothing quite like the citrussy zing of homemade curd. Why not give your spread a litle twist with this lime version? It's a little sweeter that the lemon version and tastes delicious either spread thickly on some hot toast or as the filling in a lemon sponge cake.

Method

Whisk the lime juice and rind, sugar and butter together in a glass bowl over simmering water.
Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together and add to the glass bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens like custard.
Pour into a sterilised jar while hot and seal. When it's cooled down, refrigerate and eat within two weeks.
