Perfectly tangy and superbly smooth – this Lime Filling or Spread is similar to a curd, but less dense. Use to spread over a pie, stuff it into a jelly doughnut or a pastry, or just spread over toast or a bagel.

  1. Fill a medium saucepan with 1-inch water and place over medium-high heat until it simmers.
