This is my favorite recipe for making lemon curd. Very easy and fun to make and delicious. I sometimes make half of this recipe and also use the curd as a filling for pies and tartelettes.
Ingredients for the Lemon Curd
4 lemons, rind and juice
4 eggs (organic)
110g/4oz butter
450g/1lb sugar
This is how you make the lemon curd
Grate the rind of the lemons and squeeze out the juice. Put sugar, rind and juice, butter and beaten eggs into a large bowl on top of a pan of simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until thick and the curd coats the back of the spoon. Pour the curd into warm sterile jars and keep in the refrigerator. Because of the butter and eggs the curd is perishable and best eaten within 3 weeks.
