Oooooh! I'd never thought of doing it with lemon cheese. I love that stuff. (Have been known to sneak a spoonful from the jar). Will definately do that one tomorrow night.

Vanilla is wonderful - my fav scent. Have sometimes used it as perfume (sad person but I love it so much!) ::)

Homemade lemon cheese/curd

1 large juicy lemon, grated zest and juice only
75g/3oz caster sugar
2 eggs
50g/2oz unsalted butter

put sugar and grated lemon zest in a bowl, whisk the lemon juice together with the eggs, then pour this over the sugar. Then add the butter cut into little pieces, and place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently till thickened - about 20 minutes.

Apricot jam is nice for b+b pudding, if teacakescurrant buns are reduced - I bought a few packets once for 10p a throw- cut the crusts off and slice them up instead of bread - lovely!
