Citron/Lemon

 

I do enjoy tiktok ..as well as IG ..I find lovely recipes on both..

I enjoy lemon..in warm water..or mixed with ginger..in my green tea.. in cookies..bars..loaves.. and curd.

I came upon a beautiful recipe on TikTok..

It is more creamy..

I put the ings on this watercolor..

You juice your 3 lemons and put in a pot..add the sugar..the 3 eggs..mix and cook on low heat continuously whisking ..until  it all looks amalgamated and ready... then drop in the room temp butter..and incorporate very well..

This is the magic..put in a blender and blend blend blend..

I will add in the link for the visual:)

Here it is.. 

Then you can make little shortbread tarts and fill with the cream..

The shortbread tarts are made from a recipe I gleaned form Ann Thibault..  I then just put a dollop in the tart.. and some lavender pearls( totally  not necessary).This isn't the filling on Ann's post..this is the cream of lemon..softer that curd..different..Love it.

A sprig of mint will be pretty when it's coming out of my ears ;)

We have had mild weather with geese arriving and snow melting like an ice cube in warm water..but today with one hour lost..the snow has returned.. March is never steady.However we are way ahead of ourselves..

Meanwhile I have been painting bunnies..

A real copycat:)This first one I did a few years ago..

When you step into Le Louvre..I noticed some female artists at easels..copying great masters works..To me..this is an exercise in observation.And a charming way to spend a rainy afternoon.:)

Have a lovely week..hope the change in time doesn't affect you too too much:)
