Making Lemon Curd and Scones.


What do you on a cold winters day. Hmm!!! Well there is nothing like the smell of fresh baking and the extra warmth of the oven being on to chase those winter blues away, Especially on a dull cold winters day.



Here is the recipe for the Lemon Curd, have a go it is not hard to make. Very enjoyable on scones or toast and if you like tangy lemony tastes you'll enjoy this.


3/4 Cup of fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. grated lemon zest
3/4 Cup Sugar
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup unsalted butter cubed.


Add all ingredients into a Saucepan, mix together.
Cook over med/low heat stirring until thick enough to hold marks from the whisk and first bubbles appear on surface about 6 mins.  
Then put in sterilized jars and store in Frig until use. Or store in Freezer. 





I will show you want I have been working on today, this is the picture that I work from.   The sky is done but  today I worked on the trees and beach so will show you it once I get some more photos of that stage.
Today I have been working on two 




at  the same time as the first one is going out to Hong Kong for our daughter in laws birthday and the other is for my stock for the show I am in at the end of the year.
The picture is of the beach just down below our Son and daughter in laws summer home in Newfoundland. There are some really beautiful places in Newfoundland to photograph so maybe later in the year will be posting some for you to see as we hope to go in July for a visit.
For those that follow me and don't live in Canada, Newfoundland is quite a big island and is part of Canada, on the East Coast. The locals call it The Rock. 

Please feel feel to ask questions.
One question I got asked is what is my Etsy store called, right now it is not quite completed but as soon as it is I will let you know so you can take a look.

Leaving you with a quote for the day

Those who are the happiest,
Never did have everything.

But rather, They are thankful
For everything they have.
