Ingredients
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
  1. Whisk together juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a heavy bowl ( I use a glass or stainless steel bowl). Stir in butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking frequently, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubble appears on surface, about 6 minutes (Do it on a double boiler.Just fill a pot with some water and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and place the bowl with the mixture on top and keep whisking until it starts to get thick).
  2. Transfer lemon curd to a bowl and chill, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until cold, at least 1 hour.
  3. Store it in clean glass bottles or your dish of choice covered airtight in refrigerator.
