to remove any lumps (that may have formed) Explanation: with or without the contents of the brackets Sounds a bit like some sort of creme brulee or ice-cream recipe. If the cream mixture is hot when added to the yolks, it could easily curdle a little (like scrambled eggs). If it's only minimal, the situation can be salvaged by passing through a strainer. I don't always bother to do this, but my daughter always does as a matter of course! an eg: Lemon Curd Recipe & Photo - Joyofbaking.comOnce the lemon curd has become nice and thick (like hollandaise), remove it from the heat and strain to remove any lumps that may have formed. ... www.joyofbaking.com/LemonCurd.html - 46k - Cached	Carol Gullidge United Kingdom Local time: 13:13 Specializes in field Native speaker of: English PRO pts in category: 297
