Blender Lemon Curd- It's all made in the blender then cooked to creamy perfection! ohsweetbasil.com

I know, this is a recipe that should be posted next spring when everyone goes lemon curd crazy, but I decided that it would be fun to post asap since it’s a blender lemon curd! That’s right, that picture I posted on instagram of the girls and I experimenting with making lemon curd in our Blendtec totally worked and it was the easiest lemon curd I’ve ever made!

I did overcook it a little, but that’s just because I was still so sick and trying to help the 9 year old do it from a chair so I couldn’t see things as well. I still snapped a few pics because she did such a wonderful job. It’s amazing how much a 9 year old can do. I need to remember that and while I don’t want to make her grow up too fast, especially with a baby on the way (it’s easy as more kids come to forget that the oldest is still in fact little) but I do need to let her do more on her own. I try to remember just how much kids on ranches and farms used to be responsible for. They are smarter and more capable than we think. I’m the problem as a protective parent sometimes. How do you help your kids grow up responsible but not too fast?
