Easy recipe to make your own lemon curd, which you can use in a variety of ways. Enjoy on top of scones, as a tart filling or just by the spoonful.

Ingredients

2 lemons:
all the zest
1/2 cup fresh juice
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
pinch of salt
an empty glass jar with airtight lid for storage

Directions

Mix eggs with sugar until well combined.

Melt butter over low heat.

VERY slowly pour butter into the egg and sugar mixture while constantly stirring. (If the bowl moves around, put a moist crumpled paper towel or wet dish towel under the base.)

Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Dump the entire mixture back into a saucepan on very low heat.

Let thicken for approximately 15 minutes while constantly stirring. Do not let it boil. When the lemon curd is as thick as you'd like (or when it thickly coats the back of a spoon) remove from heat.

Store in a jar in the fridge and use anytime. Goes well with fruit jams.
