The bright yellow color of Lemon Curd is beautiful on the top of cakes or tarts. The addition of a little Simple Syrup with Pectin not only thickens the curd, but when it is chilled, the pectin causes the curd to set up, making it easy to cut clean smooth slices. The syrup also gives the glaze an attractive shine which is very desirable when glazing desserts. This recipe is a combination of two other recipes:
Lemon Curd and Simple Syrup with Pectin (recipe below).
RATIO FOR LEMON CURD GLAZE = 2 - 1: LEMON CURD TO SIMPLE SYRUP WITH PECTIN
