ZESTY LEMON CURD

There are lemon trees in our backyard, so I'm always on the prowl for new ways to use the fruit. When we shared some of our homegrown citrus with neighbors-Canadians who were spending the winter here-the wife "repaid" us by giving us this recipe! The curd keeps well, and it can be used for any meal. My husband likes it on waffles and toast for breakfast, but it's also a great dessert topping on plain cake or ice cream. -Jean Gaines, Bullhead City, Arizona

Yield Makes about 1 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into bits

Steps:

  • Whisk together juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking frequently, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubble appears on surface, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer lemon curd to a bowl and chill, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until cold, at least 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to gently melt the butter and sugar, stirring constantly until smooth. This will prevent the mixture from overheating and burning.
  • Make sure to whisk the egg yolks and lemon zest together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the curd from curdling when the hot butter mixture is added.
  • Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Allow the curd to cool completely before refrigerating. This will help to prevent the curd from becoming too thick and set.
  • Use the curd within 2 weeks for the best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This incredibly easy lemon curd is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for spreading on toast or scones, using as a filling for pies and tarts, or dolloping on top of yogurt or ice cream. It's also a great gift idea for any occasion.
