Lemon Curd Masterclass Recipes

Lemon Curd

Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs

  • 4 Lemons, juiced

  • 225g Unsalted butter, cubed

  • 300g Granulated sugar

Equipment Needed: Bowl, preserving pan, whisk, wooden spoon, warm sterile jam jars.

Method

  1. Whisk up the eggs in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Put the cubed butter in the preserving pan and slowly melt over low heat.

  3. Add the fresh lemon juice, then slowly stir in the sugar until completely dissolved.

  4. Once the sugar has dissolved, slowly pour in the whisked eggs while beating well with a whisk.

  5. Cook gently over low heat, gradually increasing the temperature until the curd thickens and gently bubbles.

  6. Transfer to sterilized glass jars, seal tightly, and store in a cool place for up to 6 weeks. Refrigerate once opened.

Orange Curd

Made using the exact same ingredients and method, but replacing two of the lemons with fresh oranges for a sweeter citrus twist. If you love classic fruit preserves, check out our handcrafted naked fruit jams or explore our delicate naked jellies.


Pickled Pink Rhubarb

Ingredients

  • 200g fresh rhubarb, sliced into thin batons

  • 250ml apple cider vinegar

  • 125ml water

  • 75g honey or sugar

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp mustard seeds

  • ½ tsp pink peppercorns

  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional, for heat)

  • 1 small sprig of rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brine: In a saucepan, combine cider vinegar, water, honey or sugar, salt, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and chilli flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.

  2. Pack the rhubarb: Place the sliced rhubarb batons into a clean glass jar, layering in the rosemary or thyme.

  3. Pour the brine: Carefully pour the hot liquid brine over the rhubarb, ensuring it is fully submerged.

  4. Seal & cool: Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. It is ready to eat in 24 hours, but the flavours deepen over a few days.

This quick pickle is bright, tangy, and slightly sweet—a wonderful addition to cheese boards and gourmet cooking. If you'd like to learn more about artisan preserving and foraging, discover our culinary experiences in the New Forest.
