Preparation

Step 1

In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, dissolve sugar into lime juice. Add zest.

Lightly beat egg in a small/medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly pour lime/sugar syrup into the egg. Beat for 2 minutes (only 1 if you're using a mixer), then transfer back into the saucepan.

Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until it just starts to bubble at the edges.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla

Transfer to a small container and store in the fridge.

Makes 2/3 cup.
