Rich and creamy lemon curd is perfect alongside scones or sugar cookies.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in a double boiler over simmering water until mixed well, then continue to stir until thick, 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Drain through a mesh sieve to get rid of lumps. Fold in butter until well incorporated. Mix in lemon zest. Cover curd and chill in the refrigerator until it has thickened, about 4 hours.
Cook’s Note:
Be careful not to use any corrosive metal bowls/spoons/whisks or else it will end up with a metallic aftertaste! I'm not sure how it will taste with bottled lemon juice because I always make anything that has to do with fruit fresh from my own fruit.
