Here is a tip for you PJ, if you want to use lemon zest but don't want to strain or have strings; put the sugar and lemon zest in the food processor for 3-5 minutes. This has 2 benefits 1. zest is ground to a pulp, literally! 2. sugar is ground finer so the resulting curd is smoother. I usually let the sugar grind while I am juicing so no extra prep/cook time. This also is a great infused sugar for tea. Zest of 3 lemons, 1.5 C. sugar, grind 3-5 minutes use right away or dry and store in air tight container. Darn, now I'm wishing I hadn't composted all those "spent" lemons! I am totally going to make lemon sugar next time. Thanks, Mikki - PJH
