Lemon Curd

Homemade lemon curd is simply to die for. It’s much much nicer than the shop bought stuff and it’s wickedly easy. Super delish on hot buttered toast!

You need:

• 8 oz sugar
• 4 oz butter
• 2 eggs
• zest of 3 lemons
• juice of 2 large lemons

How to make it:

1. Grate the lemon rind carefully, removing just the yellow zest and not the white pit. Set the zest to one side.
2. Squeeze the lemons into a large bowl and place on a double boiler. Add the sugar, butter, and zest and cook until the butter and sugar have melted. You will need to stir it constantly.
3. Beat the eggs well and add to the mix. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
4. Pour into sterilised jars and seal.
5. Store in the fridge and use within two months. Delish on toast!
