If you like lemon butter, you’re going to love this zesty lime butter.
I have to admit that I have become quite obsessed with this lime butter. It’s so scrumdiddlyumptious! It’s great served with a scoop of ice cream, delicious spread on a hot crumpet and is stand alone delicious eaten straight from the jar.

I contemplated creating one of my favourite lime inspired recipes but in the end I couldn’t go past some good old fashioned Lime Butter.

Growing up in the motherland, Lemon Butter was called Lemon Curd and lately I began to wonder what was the difference between a ‘butter’ and a ‘curd.’ Well it turns out, there is no difference except in the name, it’s just a ruse to cause culinary confusion!  Whether you call this Lime Butter or Lime Curd, I promise you it will be delicious!
