So sorry, Ophelia. Although I didn't e-mail you directly, this is verbatim what I posted:
We've just finished eating a piece of Ophilia's recipe for Yorkshire Curd Cheesecake and proclaimed it *marvelous*! Both the flavor and texture were wonderful. Once you've made the curds, which I did yesterday, it's a quick and simple recipe that produces a cheesecake unlike any I've had, and one I will repeat many times.
There are two things I did that might be considered variations. First, the currants I had on hand had previously been soaked in brandy. Second, I sprinkled the pinch of nutmeg over the top before baking, rather than adding to the filling.
A million thanks, Ophelia!
