Lemon curd (bon appetit)

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1½ cup Sugar
1¼ cup Strained fresh lemon juice
4 Eggs
2 tablespoons Grated lemon zest

Directions

This versatile sauce is delicious spread on English muffins, makes a wonderful cake or pie filling and is also an easy way to enhance plain yogurt. It has a tendency to darken after about 2 months, so it is best to make only what you can use within that length of time.

Makes about 4½-pint jars

Melt butter in top of double boiler over simmering water. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until thick and smooth, about 25 to 30 minutes. Ladle into sterilized jars and seal with lids.
