Old Fashioned Lemon Curd
Yield 3/4 cup
Sweet, tangy, and lush, this lemon curd makes a fabulous dessert or topping for pancakes, pound cake, and scones. It will keep about a week in a covered dish in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan beat together the lemon juice, whole eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the stove and turn into a cold bowl, and allow to cool to room temperature before covering and storing in the refrigerator.
