How to make it

  • Finely grate enough zest from lemons to measure 2 tsp. and squeeze enough juice to measure ½ cup. Whisk together zest, juice, sugar, and eggs in a metal bowl and add butter. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook, whisking, until thickened and smooth and an instant- read thermometer registers 160°F., about 5 or 6 minutes. Force curd through a fine sieve set into another bowl. Serve warm or cover surface of curd with wax paper and cool completely.

    Love lemon curd; an easy touch of sweet to end a meal, or use for an afternoon tea, or just because the urge hits. Love it.
