Lemon Cheese Recipe Please

se999

HI,

OH loves lemon cheese, and hates lemon curd, and unfortunately lemon cheese is a lot more expensive.

Tried googling unsuccessfully and can't find anything.

So can anyone help please.

Edit - Just found some, but they look the same as the lemon curd ones, perhaps it's just we've had to buy 'really nice' home made type lemon cheeses so it tastes different to the cheap lemon curds he's tasted.

Link here for recipes if you're interested:

They're very heavy on sugar but otherwise not a lot different to lemon curd as far as I can tell. Is that all that lemon cheese really is?

Mado

Never heard of it?

HM lemon curd is to die for ....

Last time we found lemon cheese was in Howarth, so maybe it's just a Northern name for lemon curd.

Found another variation recipe now:

Also a 1925 Wigan recipe

The link also has a recipe for Lemon Honey (just to complicate matters more).

The Scottish preserves company sells it, and describes it as "similar to lemon curd has a tangy lemon flavour".

So is lemon cheese just a northern name for lemon curd?

Does anyone know?

They're both exactly the same, and we always called it Lemon cheese oop north too

I've just found this little snippet on the History of Curd if it's of any interest to anyone

As a Yorkie myself I know that the two names are interchangable. There is a fruit cheese that I have a few recipes for, this is a 'turn out and slice' thing that was eaten in place of cheese at the end of a meal, it's basically seived fruit pulp cooked with sugar to a thick puree.

No problem! ... and thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories by mentioning Haworth :T

It's one of my favourite places in the whole world, from ever since I was a little girl and we did the steam railway thing on a school trip

I went back a few years ago and those steep cobbled hills almost killed me :rotfl:

Another northern word change is swede and turnip - I bet Curry_Queen made Halloween turnip lanterns out of swede when she was little, they used to smell wonderful as the candle cooked and charred them a little

Oh yes!!! :j

How did you guess :rotfl:

I was just thinking of those actually when I was replying to the trick or treat thread, and wondering whether to do one this year

I don't think you every forget nice smells like that. my kids have never seen swedes big enough to turn into a lantern, I don't think that they bother growing them to hollowing-out size any more. The thing with pumpkins is because they are so big the heat never gets to char the sides of it, so it's not the same smell at all
