Artificial Food Coloring Free Lime Curd

Bright, tangy, and impossibly silky, this lime curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon straight from the jar. Every bit of that vivid green-yellow color comes entirely from fresh lime juice and zest — no dyes, no artificial anything, just real citrus doing its thing. That matters more than you might think, because store-bought curds and fruit spreads are surprisingly common offenders when it comes to synthetic colorants sneaking into the ingredient list. Here, you control every single component: limes, eggs, sugar, butter, and salt. The double-boiler method gently cooks the eggs to a safe temperature while building that luxuriously thick, glossy texture that sets beautifully in the fridge. Strained until perfectly smooth, it's stunning spread on scones, swirled into yogurt, or layered into a tart — no compromise on flavor or appearance required.
