I have a special post planned for Friday but, you’ll need this Easy Granadilla Curd recipe to make it. I love fruit curds. They’re  an excellent way of using up a glut of fruit, an extension of the season, as it were. My grandmother used to make a deliciously tart lemon curd to spread on hot buttered toast.  I like to serve this easy granadilla curd with thick Greek yoghurt and fresh berries for a light summer dessert or dolloped on a pavlova. The recipe is based on this 4 – minute lemon curd.

My father gave me a lemon tree for my birthday 7 years ago. It’s been barren for six of the seven. Last year it bore 2 hard, juiceless lemons. I was on the verge of plucking it out and replacing it with something less fickle but decided to give it another chance. Seven must be our lucky number. Finally we have a crop of knobbly-skinned lemons. It’s by no means a bumper crop, but enough to keep us well-juiced. I love that they’re organic and unwaxed, the rough skins perfect for zesting. Should you be lucky enough to have a lemon tree, this easy granadilla curd will relieve you of a few lemons. I’d make a double batch and share with other curd lovers.
