Ingredients

  • 3 egg chalaza (white cord) discarded, yolk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest finely grated
  • 4 Tablespoons butter 2 ounces
  • 1 Blue Food coloring optional, if looking for greener color, tiny drop

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Thoroughly mix all ingredients except butter in blender or small saucepan.  If using blender, pour mix into small saucepan.   
  2. Heat on medium whisking until mixture becomes thick, resembling the texture of hollandaise sauce, about 10 minutes.   
  3. Remove pan from heat. Cut the butter into 8 pieces, then whisk, a couple at a time, into the curd.  If desired, strain curd, then pour into storage container (I use a half pint canning jar) and refrigerate.  The curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Cool at least an hour before serving.
