I don't know about you but I just love lemon curd... on a toasted English muffin, a biscuit, on just about anything! Here is a recipe from joyofbaking that I need to try for my next batch. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) FRESH lemon juice (do not use bottled juice!)
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (4 grams) finely shredded lemon zest
  • 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, cubed and room temperature.

Directions
  1. In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water (or a double boiler), whisk eggs, sugar and lemon juice until blended.
  2. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent curdling, until mixture becomes thick like sour cream and to 160 degrees F/71 degrees C..
  3. This process will take about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.
  5. Whisk butter into mixture until melted.
  6. Add lemon zest, cover immediately with plastic wrap so skin doesn't form and allow to cool.
  7. Curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
  8. Refrigerate for up to a week.

I love Lemon Curd too! It is delightful to add to a Lemon Pie or Cake-seems to intensify the lemon in just about anything! Great post, I will be making this soon.
