Lovely Lemon Curd

Zest and juice fresh lemons; set aside. Crack eggs into a double boiler. Remove the chalazae with two spoons. Whisk together eggs, sugar and salt in a double boiler. Stir in butter, lemon juice and zest. Cook over medium heat until thick. This takes about 30 minutes with frequent stirring.

Cool to room temperature. Store in refrigerator. This recipe yields 1 1/2 cups of deliciousness, a dozen 2-tablespoon servings, or 24 single-tablespoon servings.

Spread over warm scones, dinner rolls or in between cake layers.

This recipe is not the least bit difficult, but it does require a double-boiler to prevent scorching and a little time baby-sitting it. But trust me, it’s well worth the wait!

Also makes fantastic BTS Teacher gifts, Christmas gifts and Hostess gifts.
