Lemon curd & basil meringues {Recipe}

When life gives you lemons....make lemon curd, not lemonade. Curd is by far the more valuable commodity, I often get suckered into paying $15 for a teensy tiny jar in a deli because I really really love it.

A recent visit to my favourite animal rescue to drop off some donated food and towels yielded a huge bag of lemons. Having recently read Cider With Rosie's post on seville orange curd I was inspired. I have made lemon curd before but I remember it being a huge hassle whereas Rosie's recipe looked pretty approachable.

But what to do with the leftover egg whites?

Again, blogs to the rescue. Thoroughly English did a post recently using the Meringue Girls recipe that reminded me how much I like meringue (PS. even if you have no intention of making these click on the like to Thoroughly English's meringues because that is some super-hot food styling). Plus I remembered a conversation with a dear buddy about an amazing basil and raspberry macaron she ate in Paris.
