This recipe comes from the 2001 cookbook, Luscious Lemon Desserts.

1 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated
1 pinch salt
6 large egg yolks

Directions

1
In a heavy medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt butter.
2
Remove pan from heat & add sugar, lemon juice, zest & salt, whisking to blend. Finally, whisk in yolks until smooth.
3
Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens & leaves a path on the back of a wooden spoon when a finger is drawn across it ~ DO NOT ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO BOIL.
4
Immediately pour the lemon curd through a strainer into a bowl, then let it cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally.
5
Cover & refrigerate until ready to serve ~ It will keep in the frig for a month & in the freezer for about three times that long!
6
Serve it with satisfaction on toast or scones, in tarts or as a topping for fresh fruit, gingerbread, pound cake, cheesecake or . . . !

This was very easy to make, and it came out perfectly despite the fact that I had no idea how it was made before I came across this recipe. I will make this again.
