There are still plenty of lemons around so make sure you put away some jars of lemon butter for delicious desserts: a filling for a sponge or tart, in a cheesecake, or simply over ice cream. Here’s my basic recipe for Lemon Butter (or curd).
1. Melt 250g unsalted butter in a large heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
2. Add 3 cups sugar and stir till the sugar is dissolved.

250g ripe blood plums
2/3 cup fish sauce
6 whole star anise.
2 cinnamon quills
1/3 cup lime juice
Bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to the boil, turn to low heat for 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Add plums, fish sauce, and spices. Simmer for 1 minute or so then stir in lime juice.
I like to make at least double the recipe. Better still, make lots and bottle it for gifts. I use this sauce with a Chinese BBQ … Read more »
