Lime Curd

- Remove pan from heat and strain curd into a bowl.
- Add butter a couple of pieces at a time and stir until melted and smooth.
- Lay a piece of plastic directly over the curd surface. Let cool and then refrigerate until firm and chilled about 1 hour. This can be kept for a couple of days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- This makes about 3/4 cup of curd.

Notes
This would be equally as delicious with a homemade tart shell. Could be made as individual tarts or 1 big tart. Use phyllo shells for a different texture. Make this your own.
