Homemade Lemon Curd
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated lemon zest
Instructions
1
Combine lemon juice, eggs, butter, sugar, and a generous amount of grated lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan; heat it gently over medium-low heat, stirring persistently to prevent scorching, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble vigorously, approximately 8 minutes.

Subsequently, take the saucepan off the heat source and allow it to cool gradually to room temperature, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth texture, roughly 30 minutes. Then, carefully pour the cooled mixture into clean glass containers, seal them tightly, and store them in the refrigerator to preserve freshness.
