Alton Brown's Lemon Curd image

I just tripled this recipe a couple of days ago and canned the lemon curd. The recipe makes delicious lemon curd, I hope you enjoy! **** I've heard that lemon curd will keep in the freezer for up to a year.

Categories     Lemon

Time 15m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup butter, cut into pats and chilled

Steps:

  • Add enough water to a medium saucepan to come about 1-inch up the side. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine egg yolks and sugar in a medium size metal bowl and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Measure citrus juice and if needed, add enough cold water to reach 1/3 cup. Add juice and zest to egg mixture and whisk smooth. Once water reaches a simmer, reduce heat to low and place bowl on top of saucepan. (Bowl should be large enough to fit on top of saucepan without touching the water.) Whisk until thickened, approximately 8 minutes, or until mixture is light yellow and coats the back of a spoon. Remove promptly from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next. Remove to a clean container and cover by laying a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
