Homemade Lemon Curd
Report
Homemade Lemon Curd is THE best thing in the world. You can use it to fill pies, spread on toast, waffles, pancakes or just eat with a spoon!
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 egg lightly beaten, large
- 6 tablespoons sugar granulated white
- 1.5 teaspoons lemon zest freshly grated
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup butter 4 Tbs - cut into chunks
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan, and cook over medium heat.
- Continue to heat, whisking constantly until curd is thickened - about 3-5 minutes. Do not allow to boil.
- Strain the curd through a fine strainer, removing any solids.
- Refrigerate until cold and thick, around 3 hours, before using.
- Devour.
Notes
- Can you use bottled lemon juice? Unfortunately, no. Using fresh lemons is key for this - the stuff in the bottle just will not cut it!
- How to store lemon curd - seal in a plastic container or jar with a lid (or tightly covered with plastic wrap). It will keep for about a week in the refrigerator!
