Lemon Curd and Blackberry Lemon Custard: One Base, Two Great Products

A few weeks ago, one of the bakeries at the farmers' market had an abundance of meringues, and he offered them at no cost with any purchase. I picked up a fresh loaf of cinnamon raisin bread, took advantage of the complementary meringues, and headed home.

However, I now had to figure out what to do with these meringues.

I decided I would try my hand at a berry tart with a meringue base rather than a pastry crust. For that, I would need lemon curd, a product I love but had never made before. True to her "back to basics" claim, this recipe (see link below) by Ina Garten was easy to complete and the lemon curd was delicious.

Have leftover curd? This ice cream recipe (see link below) from Family Circle is a cinch and absolutely delicious.
