Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 6 eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

  1. Combine lemon juice, eggs, butter, sugar, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until curd is thick and just beginning to boil, about 8 minutes.

  2. Remove curd from heat and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to keep the surface soft, about 30 minutes. Pour curd into clean jars, seal, and store in the refrigerator.
