I stumbled onto this video & omg I'm hooked! I love your energy & humor. Then when your husband pulled out the eggs from his hoodie - that was priceless & hysterical. Now I need to find out what you did with the lemon seeds. Can't wait to check out your other videos.
Im just finding your channel. You are adorable. 😂 you do a great job explaining things. I was bkessed with a bunch of lemons and was looking for how to can lemons. This fit the bill.
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska my grater is a finger eater! I hate that little bugger! The lemon curd is amazing! Definitely will make it again. I also saved the white stuff.. can’t spell the name of it and the voice to txt doesn’t understand me. It is in the freezer waiting to be boiled for pectin! My daughter want some lemon sugar bad so I will be zesting the rest of the lemons 🤨 but I can’t complain too much because she stirred the curd for almost a half hour today for me! I made a double batch and got 10 jars! That surprised me.
@@Mindy56743 that’s so awesome! I’m so glad you’re finding this useful. My advice for using the pectin that didn’t make it into the video is this: when you go to make jam, get the berries or fruit juice to boil, then add the pectin and boil for a minute or two, Turn the heat off the, jar it and process like usual. I think I ended up with only a soft set in my raspberry jam because I added the pectin too early and it broke down too much before I jarred it. Your daughter was a shining star today.
My mouth is watering... AGAIN! And its ALL your fault! (And the cutie patootie taste tester of yours!) His reaction is reason enough to make your lemon curd!! The problem for me is... I have no idea what to do with lemon curd! I'll be 113 in trucker years in a few days & I have no idea how to use lemon curd! Sooo... help a sistah out! Please? Thx in advance. God bless! 🙏
It's like a super rich lemon custard. Actually, I think that exactly what it is. Mr. Reeve's advice involves eating it right out of the jar, but most people use it in lemon bars, topping for cheesecake, you know all the healthy stuff. Here's a link I found for 20 ways to use curd. lmld.org/ways-to-use-lemon-curd/
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska that is a very good idea. I am planning on making a crapload of pasta to use up eggs. I wonder if you could use the bottled lemon juice for the lemon curd?
@@Mindy56743 yes you can totally use bottled lemon juice. You can also use bottles lime juice! Mmmmm. I’ve been thinking about pasta for egg storage too. How do you store it? Dry it and it’s shelf stable? Or in the freezer?
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska it is supposed to be shelf stable but I plan to do a test on that. I am planning to do a huge batch dehydrating it and leaving some at room temperature and freezing the rest. I will check on the room temperature at 3 and 6 months to see how it goes
Yum! I have never made lemon curd! Will definitely have to get that on my shelf! Have you ever tried using a steam bath canner? I just got one and it literally is a game changer. It uses so little water and way less energy than a traditional water bath canner. Thank you for another solid video!
Hey friend, great question. I find that the taste is a little more bland and not as “fresh” tasting as fresh squeezed. However, it tastes soooo much better than store bought. Store bought is so bitter, reminds me of earwax. Ha! Thanks for the question.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. Be blessed sweet friend.
kind of an oxymoron that nchfp tells you you cannot can things with eggs, but then approves this curd recipe LOL. great ideas, loving this series
@@kskorner74 thanks!
New subscriber. You both have the best personality. ❤. Thanks for sharing.
@@tal23-tanika3 awwww! Glad to have you along, friend. 😊
Off Grid Living REQUIRES DOUBLE THINK--reuse the heated water to begin the next project that needs heated water.
I'm a first timer to your channel an omg I love it keep up the great work
Hello Miss Beverly! Glad to have you along on our adventures. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Have a great weekend friend. 😊

Great! I’m glad you found it useful.
You’re so cute! Thanks for a very enjoyable vid!
Awwww! Yay! Happy Sunday, friend. Be blessed.
I just did the lemon curd. Getting the zest off them is a pain in the fingers and this takes a long damn time. Definitely worth it!
Yay!! I’m hoping to make grapefruit curd next! Zesting was definitely my least favorite part.😬

I definitely need to make the lemon curd. It looks amazing!
I have come to the realization that it's essentially a good way to preserve eggs. A protein rich dessert. 11 eggs!

@@Mindy56743 Cool! please let me know how your science experiment turns out. 🙂
You are far more energetic than I am impressed (electric, water)
Thanks friend 😊. Have a blessed week.
Looks yummy!

I haven’t tried one of those. 😊
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska I use my pressure canner as a steam canner so I don't have to hear all that water,.... One rebel to another. 😊

When you water bath can lemon juice, does it change the flavor?

@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska Thanks for your reply! Earwax ... funny! 🤣
