Ingredients

  • 3 lemon
  • tablespoons butter
  • cup sugar
  • 3 egg
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Zest the lemons and juice the lemons.
    2. 2
      Combine the zest, juice, butter, and sugar and place in a small saucepan over low heat.
    3. 3
      Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Beat the eggs and add to the mixture.
    4. 4
      Keeping the heat very low, cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened - 15 minutes or so.
    5. 5
      Do not let the mixture boil or the eggs will curdle.
    6. 6
      Strain the curd to get out large bits of zest and any bits of egg that scrambled into small bowls or jars.
    7. 7
      Refrigerate.
