Meyer Lemon Curd
Recipe by Marguerite Walter
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
- 3 Meyer lemons, zested
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 5 eggs
- Pinch salt
- 1 1/2 sticks butter, cut into ½ inch pats
In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, zest, sugar, eggs and salt and whisk to a homogeneous consistency. Place in saucepan and bring to a medium heat. Cook, whisking, constantly until the mixture has thickened, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, 2 pats at a time until it’s incorporated and has a silky consistency. When cooled cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface of the curd. Great with scones and biscuits or you can use it to fill your favorite lemon tart.
