I just returned from London and let’s just say tea and scones became a thing. Lemon curd was one of my favorite things to smear on top of a warm toasty scone, so I simply had to make some when I returned. You can water bath lemon curd, but my recipe is intended to be consumed within a month’s time. These little jars make great gifts, or put them out with freshly baked goods at a Springtime brunch.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes three 4 oz. jars. Refrigerated version.<\/em><\/p>\n

You will need:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • 1\/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup of sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (make sure to wash your lemons thoroughly!)<\/li>\n
  • 3 eggs<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup of butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to Prepare:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    In a small glass bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and lemon juice together until well blended.<\/p>\n

    Pour mixture into a medium-sized non-stick pot. Stir CONSTANTLY on medium to low heat.<\/p>\n

    After two minutes, add in the butter and lemon and keep stirring!<\/p>\n

    \"stir<\/p>\n

    You never want to stop because you don’t want the egg to separate out while it’s heating up.<\/p>\n

    Heat until the mixture is bubbly but not boiling and the curd has thickened. You can do a spoon test – if the curd coats the back of a spoon, it’s ready.<\/p>\n

    Pour mixture into three 4 oz. sterilized jars.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Fridgerate. The mixture will keep in the fridge for 3 weeks. Use within 7 days after opening one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
