Meyer Lemon Curd

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Meyer lemon juice (~4 lemons)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 stick butter, cut into 4 pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the zest, juice, sugar, and eggs in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Add butter and whisk constantly, until thickened and smooth (a thermometer should read 160-170F).
Strain curd through a fine sieve set over another bowl. Serve warm or cover surface of curd with plastic wrap and cool completely.
