Tips & Tricks

Thicker Curd- Some people have added a tablespoon of cornstarch after the addition of butter to thicken the curd to use immediately.

PRO TIP: If you don’t have a double boiler, find a glass bowl that will fit over the sauce pan.

Lemon Juice- make sure to use fresh lemons and not bottled juice. Fresh lemon juice has no preservatives and no bitterness.
