You are going to want to top all things with this honeyed lemon orange curd (ideas: waffles, pancakes, cupcakes). I’m sharing today’s recipe for honey lemon orange curd from Jenny McGruther’s latest book, The Nourished Kitchen: Farm-to-Table Recipes for the Traditional Foods Lifestyle. This citrus curd has a smooth, creamy and buttery texture. The author describes the curd as “almost ethereal in texture, this dish combines the vibrant flavors of orange and lemon with the sweet softness of honey.” She uses the curd as a spread for biscuits or as a dip for berries. I’ve been enjoying it by the spoonful, but you can also use this as a frosting or a topping for cake (it’d be perfect on top of my coconut flour birthday cake or on these citrus cardamom cupcakes). There are plenty of easy-to-make gourmet recipes like this one that are about enjoying sustainable, unprocessed, traditionally prepared food. A major theme throughout the book: where you get your food is just as, if not more, important than what you eat. While the book is not gluten-free or dairy-free, there are many options for those of us following a gluten-free and paleo-friendly lifestyle. I recommend this book and encourage you to order a copy here. For now, be sure to try out the amazing recipe for honey lemon & orange curd below.
