Lemon Curd

Perfect amount of tart to sweet, silky consistency. I’m just SO excited about this stuff. I want to bottle it and give it away.

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan over low to medium heat, whisk eggs, sugar and lemon juice until blended.
2. Add butter and lemon zest and continue to whisk until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer to a separate bowl, cool for 10 minutes then cover and refrigerate.
**Use real lemons rather than bottled lemon juice, the flavor is so much better**
