According to the National Center for Home Preservation Lemon Curd is shelf stable for 3-4 months. I suggested storing in the fridge, which I will still likely recommend to the gift recipients - It'll extend the shelf life even more. Here's the article and recipe for your reference. nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/canning-fruits-and-fruit-products/lemon-curd-canned/
You know if you flip your lemon in the opposite direction you’ll get more of the juice out!! Learned this from someone on RUclips. Works like a charm. 😊
I have a quick and easy lemon curd recipe. Put the sugar and zest into your food processor and whirl for a minute. Add 7 WHOLE eggs and blend. Add butter until smooth then the juice until all incorporated. This makes the texture very smoothe. You'll never notice the zest. Transfer to a 1 1/2 qt. pot and heat to 170°. I also prefer freeze drying it so it lasts for years and you just add water when you have a hankering for lemon goodness! 😂
If you're gifting lemon curd as a present, you are giving the gift of love! That is a lot of work! I've been making lemon curd for a few years now, and it's a process! I had to look a long time to find a recipe to can it, because they all said to refrigerate it, and I wanted it shelf stable. Happy Holidays! :)
I learned about the fermented honey last year I believe on your channel. So I started some this summer and just this week gave to my niece who had been up all night coughing. She texted me the next day and said she had only coughed once that day. Thank you so much for all the fantastic recipes you share
I've never heard of lemon curd being made like this. In Australia (and the UK) we make it by adding the ice cold butter at the end to reduce the temp really quickly. It also makes heating up the egg mixture much quicker
My living room is painted in the color Sea Salt too! I had used it in my first home and when we moved I knew I wanted it in my new home. Hope you feel better soon!
You probably have Covid. Some lose their sense of smell and/or taste and it lingers quite awhile. I was tired for at least a month. Glad you have things to make you feel better and heal🙏🏻♥️
Hi Chelsea, I love lemon curd and make it all the time. Nothing better than homemade sourdough with lemon curd on it, yum. It freezes really well too. I don’t can it cause it’s just for us so I freeze it in half pints, great video. Love your house rooster too. 🌷🇨🇦
You’re so gifted! I may have heard you incorrectly- but it sounded like you called it a double-broiler. It’s a double-boiler!😊 Glad you back with us and feeling better!
Great video as always. You’ll probably get more juice with less effort if you put the cut side of the lemon in your juicer face down - toward the holes might like in the juicer. In regard to the lemon zest, you might like the texture if you use a food processor to process the zest with the sugar before adding it to your mixture.
I remember when I was a teenager I had bronchitis quite a bit. My Aunt was staying with us until her husband came stateside from Germany and I had bronchitis. I coughed and coughed and I heard my Mom say to my Aunt “if she coughs one more time I swear I’m going to smack her” well we started laughing and couldn’t stop. My Aunt suggested making “the recipe”. Equal parts whisky, lemon juice and honey. It worked. It was the only thing that would cut that cough.
I learned about Cowboy Candy on your channel. I have made three batches and my family loves it. We have shared some jars with some friends. They want more. I am thinking of making some for Christmas gifts. Thinking of making baskets with beef stew, sourdough loaf bread, jam, and applesauce.
Chelsea you are amazing helping Dan prime your office while you were still not feeling 100%… I am so happy that you are over the flu.. I also love anything with lemon in it.. I went to a church Advent dinner last week and someone made lemon Italian cookies.. they were so delicious.. we had our first snow flurries today here in Annapolis Maryland USA 🇺🇸.. I love watching your channel. Take care ❤️
I am about 2 1/2 hours west of you - just south of the Hagerstown area - -we had it coming down from the Cumberland mountains - it was so pretty - - my 2 cats spent the day on the back of the couch watching it.
Hello, what wonderful ideas! I made carrot cake jam the other day and it is just scrumptious! First time i have ever water bathed jam and it turned out great! Think i might make donuts next week and use some as a filling! Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful ideas! Have a lovely day!
Hello sweet friend!! So glad you’re on the mend. Sounds like you had a bad go of it. Wishing you and your fam a happy thanksgiving from my fam to yours ❤
I just finished a batch of carrot cake jam! It is a juggling exercise to do jam making in my RV. But I love the challenge and my friends enjoy the results! ❤❤
I love Lemon Curd. Lemon has always been a juice I like. I swap sultanas or raisins as I don’t like the seeds in raisins I use the fine side of the greater for when I make Carrot cake.
There is a tested recipe for lemon curd on nchfp site and it calls for bottled lemon juice for the same reason we add bottled juice with tomatoes as fresh tomatoes’ acidity level cannot be accurately measured for canning. Fresh lemon’s juice is also an unknown, especially with all the usually “no-no” canning ingredients (egg, butter, etc). It is delicious and cans-up nicely, and is shelf stable.
My tummy would hurt eating whole cloves of garlic. I love garlic, but my system can’t handle a lot of it. Garlic is a natural blood thinner. Maybe that’s why it is suggested not to eat a ton of it at once. I think I’m going to try making that lemon curd. That sound delicious.
I love the wonderful projects you’re doing! The black garlic is intriguing to me. I’m making gift baskets for Christmas as well, I’m going to research how to do it without the fermenter appliance.
I am going to have to try the carrot cake jam - that looks awesome!! I am the only one that like lemon so that one might have to wait!! Thank you for sharing
Never heard of black garlic before. I'm very curious about it. I have a bunch of garlic that we harvested so that might be something to try. Thanks for sharing.
@LittleMountainRanch, the black garlic, you can peel clean and vacuum seal it in small quantities in bags, they will collapse and turn to goo a little but keeps for months!
I was always taught that one cup of liquid and one cup of dry goods is not the same that is why there are measuring cups and liquid measuring cups. Is that not true? I love your videos!
I love your channel! Just found it last week and can't get enough. Haha! I watch while canning. I enjoyed watching your family in 1 video decorating the tree. One of the kids was standing on the arm of the couch just like our kids do. ❤ Thanks for the fantastic content!!
I love watching your channel, Chelsea! I always learn something. I am anxious to see the finished office! :) Glad you're feeling better and loved the rooster in the window! and the cat walking by the kitchen window! LOL
I just recently made lemon curd for a cake filling, and mine did not turn out...very tart and ran off the cake ( it was a layered cake) so looking forward to trying this recipe.
Alas, I just moved back to the midwestern U.S. after 22 years in Southern California. Most everyone has a lemon tree or other citrus in their yardsand I miss going out and plucking lemons which I used for all sorts of things. I just paid 85 cents for one lemon! Yikes! I've asked friends for boxes of lemons for Christmas and I will juice them and freeze in ice cube trays.
Hi Chelsea, glad your feeling healthier, your too busy to be sick 😊 How many days did you ferment the garlic? Thank you. PS: Sure wish I was on your friend list, with all those goodies, they are lucky to have someone as special as you in their lives 😊
Chelsea, my sister and I are thinking about getting a freeze dryer. I’ve watched some channels and sometimes the food doesn’t look that great. Other things come out pretty well. I know you like to use it for fruit. But if you use it for anything else can you show us some rehydrated foods so we can see how they turn out, what you use them for, and how hard it is to get them rehydrated? Some of the channels have all these graphs where they’re measuring and weighing and it looks kind of complicated to me so I’m a little intimidated. Thanks I’d appreciate it.
Do you need that black garlic machine to make it? Do you have a link? I never thought anything would taste better than the oney fermented garlic but you have me wondering if the next best thing in the world is mine for the making. So glad you are feeling better. We live in Florida and have had the long flu problem for a couple months. The kids brought it home from school and then Dad got it and he thought it was just sinus so waited three weeks before going to get antibiotics. Mom took the youngest that had it almost as long as Dad and he has antibiotics now and Sister was on meds but went 2 days without and it came back with a vengence. Me and my daughter are the only ones to not get it. Weird business with colds seems like.
I don't usually like any strong smells like paint or nail polish or perfumes or room freshners it gives me a headache but any citrus smell like orange or lemon it calms me down
Okay I'm a little confused and it just might be the wording or the dialect. You keep on saying double broiling do you mean double boiling? I understand a double boiler and double boiling but not a double broiler

I didn't know that, thanks
Hi friend 👋 ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
The Lemon Curd won’t last that long once they try it . Lasts maybe 3 days once opened .
Flip the lemons when you put them in the press, I learned that I had been doing it wrong for so long 😜 I did find I got more juice from the lemons .
The recipe I have is a bit different for the lemon curd , the one I followed had the butter in after being on the double boiler and it thickens .
I believe your lemon juicer is designed to put the halves in the other way around, so that the rinds are turned inside out as you squeeze.
I usually squeeze the lemon both ways - it always surprises me how much juice is extracted with the “opposite” squeeze.
I agree. It seems counterintuitive but you get more of the juice out.
Yes! I came here to say that too. It's counterintuitive but true.
I have made 5 batches of the Lemon Curd since seeing it on 1870’s Homestead, oh my it’s is so good . I also have it with vanilla Greek yogurt.
You know if you flip your lemon in the opposite direction you’ll get more of the juice out!! Learned this from someone on RUclips. Works like a charm. 😊
That’s how the chefs do it.
Agreed, I do this too and get way more.
I was going to offer the same advice. ;)
I have a quick and easy lemon curd recipe. Put the sugar and zest into your food processor and whirl for a minute. Add 7 WHOLE eggs and blend. Add butter until smooth then the juice until all incorporated. This makes the texture very smoothe. You'll never notice the zest. Transfer to a 1 1/2 qt. pot and heat to 170°. I also prefer freeze drying it so it lasts for years and you just add water when you have a hankering for lemon goodness! 😂
This sounds awesome. How many lemons for the zest and juice do you use? How much sugar? Approximately how much butter?
Whoever gets your Christmas gift baskets are very lucky!
Lemon curd as the only dressing poured over fresh fruits cut up in a fruiit salad --- absolute perfection.

Double boiler. I love lemon curd especially on angel food cake. The rooster cracks me up. Good will has great baskets cheap.
You probably have Covid. Some lose their sense of smell and/or taste and it lingers quite awhile. I was tired for at least a month. Glad you have things to make you feel better and heal🙏🏻♥️
Glad you're feeling better:) That lemon curd looks delicious.
I wish I had even just a pinch of your work ethic, you're awesome.

Hi Chelsea, I am so glad you are feeling beter! Romanian ferments are the best!
🎉🎉🎉 looking forward to trying the carrot cake jam recipe🎉🎉🎉
You’re so gifted! I may have heard you incorrectly- but it sounded like you called it a double-broiler. It’s a double-boiler!😊
Glad you back with us and feeling better!
Lol! My brain isn't working to full capacity yet it seems.
Great video to watch since im gettimg over the flu. My favorites, lemon curd and carrot cake. What a treat for Christmas
Wool dryer balls!😊 looking forward to that. My son has added 2 sheep to his goat herd.
Glad you are feeling better❤
What a great gift idea. Thank you for sharing. Glad you're feeling better.
I normally cut the end off each of the halves, I find it’s better for using that juicer ❤❤
Beautiful job on the basement room, Dan & Chelsea! I so very much enjoy your channel. Always so encouraging and inspiring.
Great video as always. You’ll probably get more juice with less effort if you put the cut side of the lemon in your juicer face down - toward the holes might like in the juicer.

My husband and I had the cold flu and we were both sick for 5 weeks so perhaps your tonics really did help. TFS Ann
I use lemon extract instead of the zest, turned out great!!!
Thanks for the fun you always make my day..

Oh, I would eat the garlic, fermented veggies. I am vegetarian, and love your channel, no matter what you are cooking!💜🩵💙
Good morning . Will enjoy your energy
happy for the new room
your office is going to be so nice, I love lemon curd, and I am sure yours is awesome Glad you're feeling better God Bless
I’ve never made lemon curd this way. The butter is used after the cooking to cool and thicken the curd.
Meringue cookies are delicious dipped in lemon curd.
Hello, what wonderful ideas! I made carrot cake jam the other day and it is just scrumptious! First time i have ever water bathed jam and it turned out great! Think i might make donuts next week and use some as a filling! Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful ideas! Have a lovely day!

You made me smile with you tasting the black garlic x
Hello sweet friend!! So glad you’re on the mend. Sounds like you had a bad go of it. Wishing you and your fam a happy thanksgiving from my fam to yours ❤
I recently found a recipe for making lemon curd in the instant pot! My taste testers gave it a thumbs up.
I just finished a batch of carrot cake jam! It is a juggling exercise to do jam making in my RV. But I love the challenge and my friends enjoy the results! ❤❤
I love Lemon Curd. Lemon has always been a juice I like. I swap sultanas or raisins as I don’t like the seeds in raisins I use the fine side of the greater for when I make Carrot cake.
carrot jam is also great on pork or sea food
Good to see, that you feel better👍🦋👍🦋👍🦋
The view outside is beautiful!
Woohoo! I've been working on my annual gingerbread house. I needed a break to watch my favorite channel! Lemon curd is my all time favorite!❤

Watching your videos is very entertaining and it motivates me a lot. I made lemon curd last year. It is tart!
I have a lemon curd recipe using the microwave, does in less than 20 mins for 4lb. Tastes fabulous
My tummy would hurt eating whole cloves of garlic. I love garlic, but my system can’t handle a lot of it. Garlic is a natural blood thinner. Maybe that’s why it is suggested not to eat a ton of it at once.

Love to hear what you find
I have made this (different recipe). I’m going to use as a filling for cream puffs.
Your baskets are going to be amazing!
The video was very enjoyable and informative so I thank you very much!!!
I am going to have to try the carrot cake jam - that looks awesome!! I am the only one that like lemon so that one might have to wait!! Thank you for sharing
You sound much better! I hope you are feeling equally well!
Never heard of black garlic before. I'm very curious about it. I have a bunch of garlic that we harvested so that might be something to try. Thanks for sharing.
Looks Soo good!!
Funsville!
Thanks for sharing your life with us and your ideas!!!😊
I don’t think we ever stop canning it’s an addiction.

i know what u mean.. i painted my bedroom sico revelstoke it goes fromsage to deep green at night i love it
Thanks for sharing❤
I'm glad you're feeling better!
Those are going to be beautiful gift baskets.
Have you thought about making salves to put in your baskets ?
The idea of a gift basket sounds so good. Will you be leaving instructions (or receipts) with things like the black garlic? Yum!
Another great video you’re just a little busy bee 🐝 all the time Thank you for sharing it.❤

It's a double boiler not broiler. You work so hard for your family. You're amazing how you get so much work done❤❤
Gosh darn it! You're right. I just hate when I say the wrong word on a video. lol
Funny, my husband across the room just said did she say double broiler? Then you did it again! Not a big deal, but funny even my husband caught it.
Can't help but chuckle.. moma and memeŕe used to say it the same way.. must be a Canadian thing. It's where they were from years ago.
@@LittleMountainRanch
Just a little of your authentic charm.. 💐
Hi Chelsea, glad your feeling healthier, your too busy to be sick 😊
How many days did you ferment the garlic? Thank you.
PS: Sure wish I was on your friend list, with all those goodies, they are lucky to have someone as special as you in their lives 😊
Can you make black garlic in crock pots?
I will be looking into this fermenter. Could you give us the name and model of the one you used? Thank you.
Can I plz ask you what days you vlog now?as I thought you did every other day.thank you🥰💕💖💕🥰

I totally understand. I will try to make a video that shows the rehydration process and some things I've used it for.
Ditto flip the lemon halves the other way. You get more juice and less mess.

What brand of paint did you use? I love that color!
Beautytone
What garlic fermenter did you use?
I have a question… for the lemon curd … if you froze it would it change the texture???
I haven't tried it but I would imagine it would with the eggs.
What do you use lemon curd with? (Sorry I have never heard of it)
I don't usually like any strong smells like paint or nail polish or perfumes or room freshners it gives me a headache but any citrus smell like orange or lemon it calms me down
where did you get your lemons - so that you're sure they don't have Apeel coating on them?
Do you have a link to the electric pressure canner? I’d like to order one for Black Friday which is coming up soon!
Were you able to get the spot in the barn for your rooster?
It was my understanding that any dairy wasn’t safe for canning. Could you explain what makes this a safe canning recipe
I believe it's due to the high acid content.
How long does the garlic & honey last?
In honey, a year.
@@LittleMountainRanch Thank you 🙂
I had a bad experience with cloves in3rd grade, and also not a fan of raisins.🤦♀️
Or coconut macaroons.
The easiest treat to make - great for making with small children.
Cud you frezdry lemon curd? Maby put on cake like a sprinkel.
could the carrot jam be made with, say, 50% of the sugar in the recipe? Just to make it less sweet? Or does that make the recipe collapse?
Okay I'm a little confused and it just might be the wording or the dialect. You keep on saying double broiling do you mean double boiling? I understand a double boiler and double boiling but not a double broiler
Just a little brain glitch.
Sounds like you've had Covid, a strain of it has been making the rounds again
Not fun at all. My family has had it a few times but this is a first for me.
What do you do with lemon curd?
We eat it on pound or angel food cake. It’s so delicious. You can also use it in lemon bars or pie!
