Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, mix together lemon juice, sugar, and egg yolks.
- Place on medium-high heat and stir constantly until mixture starts to thicken. ** This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add salt, zest and chunks of butter, a few at a time. Stir well until the butter is completely melted.
- Allow the lemon curd to cool to room temperature. Place in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until chilled completely through.
- After using, store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- **While the curd is cooking, drag a wooden spoon or silicone spatula through it. Make sure that your spoon is touching the bottom of the saucepan as it drags through the curd. When your spoon leaves a clear trail (that quickly disappears) in the bottom of the pan, the curd is ready.
