    Hi Megan, my nephew Daniel Bentle is married to Heidi, we got the name of your website from her last week at the wedding in Jackson Michigan. Anyway, I am currently wheat, dairy and sugar free, and feeling fantastic. I can’t wait to get some new ideas! Julie

    Hi, I tried making the lemon twice and every time it did not turn out. It would start to thicken up and then just as it was getting a tad thicker it just turned to water again. What might I be doing wrong ? I did add more flour and I am not over boiling either.

      Hmmm, I’m not sure why your lemon curd is turning to water. What kind of pot are you using?
