I just picked these lemons from my lemon tree. I have tons of lemons now, so I decided to make some lemon curd. Lemon curd only takes about ten minutes to make. Its cheaper than store-bought lemon curd too. Here are the ingredients you need to make it:

• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup butter (I used salted butter and it turned out fine, but usually I use unsalted butter.)

Zest and juice the lemons.

Combine lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar and eggs in a small saucepan.

Turn on heat to medium-low and add butter. Whisk constantly until butter melts. If you don’t whisk it you’ll get chunks of cooked egg.

Continue whisking until thickened, about five minutes. Store in a glass container in your fridge.

Lemon curd can be used as a filling for layer cakes, a spread for toast or crumpets (which I need to learn how to make) or eaten by the spoonful. It’s also delicious mixed in with homemade yogurt. Enjoy!
