Spring Lemon Curd Syrup is a sweet and tart syrup that leaves a flavor explosion in your mouth. This Spring Lemon Curd Syrup goes well with my Sweet Tart Lemon Waffles. The two together takes breakfast to a whole new level.

My recipes are grain free, refined sugar-free, and many are dairy free.
Personal Life:
I continue to work on improving my blog. Incredibly I have learned so much since I started this blog not only about nutrition and new to me ingredients but also about taking photo’s, and computer formatting and lingo. I would love any feedback on ways I can improve my blog.
Information On Recipe:
Since my writing my recipe for the sweet and tart waffles I wanted a unique syrup to go with them. Therefore, I made very thin lemon curd to pour over my waffles. This lemon curd is slightly tart with a nice light sweetness level. The majority of my recipes are for 4 – 5 people. This recipe makes plenty for about 5 waffles. The great thing about this recipe is that you can create it thin or thicker depending on how long you cook it. This lemon zest and butter gives the Spring Lemon Curd Syrup a creamy and subtle texture.
Since doing my research on Yacon Syrup I decided on adding some to this recipe. I really like the flavor profile that Yacon syrup and maple sugar make when combined. But, if you don’t have Yacon syrup just use all maple sugar.
Spring Lemon Curd Syrup
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Yacon Syrup
- 1/8 maple sugar
- zest
- 4 tbsp butter
- pinch of salt
Instructions:
Beat the egg set aside. Combined the lemon juice of one lemon
Yacon syrup, maple sugar, and lemon zest. Add beaten egg while whisking the whole time. Cook over a double boiler while continuously stirring the mixture the whole time. Cook for a few minutes until it becomes a thin syrup consistency. Or if you prefer to cook a few minutes more which will create a thicker consistency. Remove from heat and add in butter and pinch of salt. Stir until butter is melted.
Use as a syrup over pancakes, waffles or crepes. (By the way, this is the European way of creating Lemon Curd). If not using pour remaining syrup into a sterilized jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
