Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is often spread on biscuits, muffins, toast, or scones as a morning or afternoon treat in the U.K. You can also fill a cooked tart or pie shell with it for a simple dessert.

For this recipe, you'll need 2 or 3 medium lemons to get 1/2 cup of juice. To get more juice from a lemon (or other citrus fruit), microwave a whole one on high for about 20 seconds or roll it under your palm on a hard surface. Doing this helps break up the cells of juice inside.

Procedure 1. Using a whisk, stir the sugar and lemon juice together in a heavy, medium saucepan. Beat in the eggs, and add the butter chunks.

2. Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture forms a thick sauce, about 15 minutes. **If the eggs start to curdle, remove from the heat and keep whisking until the mixture cools slightly. Then continue cooking over low to medium heat, whisking constantly. The curd should NOT boil or bubble at any point.

3. Your sauce is done when the mixture becomes slightly foamy and is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

4. Pour the sauce into a clean air tight container and refrigerate overnight.
