Lemon curd 

Experience the zesty delight of homemade lemon curd, a velvety blend of tangy citrus and rich butter. Perfect for spreading on scones or enhancing your favorite desserts, this classic treat is a burst of sunshine in every bite.  

Ingredients 

  • Juice of 2 lemons, about 0.5 FL. 
  • Zest of 2 lemons 
  • 4 OZ. Of butter 
  • 7 OZ. Of sugar 
  • 2 eggs 

Instructions 

  • In a heat-resistant bowl, combine butter, sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Stir the mixture well. 
  • Heat the bowl in a double boiler until the butter is melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the eggs. Stir thoroughly. 
  • Place the bowl back on the double boiler and continue stirring until the mixture gradually thickens. The mixture is ready when you can draw a line through it with your finger, and the curd doesn’t flow back immediately. Be cautious not to let the mixture boil to prevent bits of coagulated egg. 
  • Remove the curd from the heat and strain it through a sieve. Then, pour the curd into a jar and store it in the refrigerator. Delicious on scones or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy your meal!
