Directions

  1. Combine lemon juice, eggs, butter, sugar, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan, cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until curd is thick and just beginning to boil, about 8 minutes.

  2. Remove curd from heat and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to keep the surface soft, about 30 minutes. Pour curd into clean jars, seal, and store in the refrigerator.

Recipe Note

Lemony tart and just a little sweet. Wonderful on scones or croissants.
