#fijchallenge

I don't have an official entry for this month's @foodinjars #fijchallenge because all of my herbs are still buried under a couple of feet of snow. But we are loving these amazing scones that are a fabulous way to use all of your preserved herbs. I've made them with my Basil Pesto Base, frozen chives, garlic-dill Herb Butter, and Salt-Preserved Lemon Thyme. Recipes are #ontheblog . #foodinjars #foodinspiration #herbmonth #makeityourself #bakeathome #healthyrecipes #twiceastastyblog https://www.instagram.com/twiceastastyblog/p/BvZ_LIihYkg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a17xgcg812pj

Cream Scones with Lemon Curd 🍋 Another January #cooking challenge. ~ I used #alicemedrich's "Lemon (or Lime) Curd #madewithhoney #recipe for @foodinjars' #fijchallenge and made a rookie mistake. I fell for the romance of Meyer lemons. Full "scientist of yummy" confession in the comments.  ~ 🍋 Lemon Curd made w/Honey 3-4 medium lemons* or 6-7 limes 3 large eggs OR 1 egg + 3 yolks 2/3 c. honey 1/16 t. fine salt 6 T unsalted butter, in pats ~ Set a medium-fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl for the finished curd and have a silicon spatula handy. ~ Grate the zest of two of the lemons (or 3 of the limes) into a 1-qt, heavy-bottomed, non-reactive saucepan. Whisk in the eggs, honey, and salt. ~ Squeeze juice from the lemons or limes to measure 1/2 c. and whisk in. Add the butter pieces. ~ Cook over medium heat, whisking into the corners and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan constantly (to avoid scorching the curd) until the butter is melted and the mixture thickens and begins to simmer at the edges. Continue whisking and sweeping every inch of the pan, allowing the mixture to bubble gently all over for about 10 seconds. ~ Use the silicon spatula to scrape and push the curd through the strainer, pressing gently on any solids. Scrape the curd on the underside of the strainer into the bowl. Chill before using. Curd keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It freezes well, too.  *regular supermarket lemons https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAEeoJhs-o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p4lmpfjhlvh
