Strawberry curd and preserves
I picked up a flat of Hood strawberries, so distinctive and hard to ship. They are the sought after strawberries during their growing season. Along with smoothies, I tried a new recipe and made strawberry lemon curd. Also I followed an old-fashioned recipe for strawberry preserves.
It is nice to have some new jars of homemade canned food in my cupboard.

We have been enjoying fresh, local strawberries for a couple of weeks. Note to self: Do not schedule colonoscopy during strawberry (or any berry) season again. I was so disappointed to not be able to eat them for several days.
Local berries are a favorite and I wish the season was longer. They will probably be here for another week, and that will be that. I make freezer jam as it tastes so fresh during the winter. Also froze a few to use in strawberry syrup. Much as I love fresh berries, I detest frozen and thawed. Syrup and smoothies is all I use them for.
Love lemon curd, and would also like to try the strawberry curd if you share the recipe.

I would also like the recipe for strawberry lemon curd. Sounds scrumptious.

Lemon curd is really easy to make on your own. Rather than make it on the stove and have to stand there, stir and watch it, you can make it in the microwave. I also make it in my VitaMix and it takes about 10 minutes. My favorite lemons to use for the lemon curd are Meyer Lemons. It is really tasty.
