Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
9 egg yolks
3/4 cup unsalted butter
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat combine 1 cup of sugar with 3/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
- We’re gonna stir this until the mixture is hot but not yet coming to a simmer.
- Grab your egg yolks and set them to the side. We’re going to get a little set up here so we can temper the eggs before adding them into the rest of the mixture.
- I’m gonna whisk the egg yolks so that they are first all combined, then I’ll take some of the hot lemon mixture and pour just a little bit in and whisk this, you want to do this all really fast, I’ll add in just a little bit more, whisk this all in, which tempers the eggs.
- So that then you can add the egg yolks back in and you won’t end up with scrambled eggs.
- Then we’re gonna add in all of that butter and whisk this until the butter is just melted in staying over that medium heat.
- After about 2 minutes you’ll remove it from the heat and pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into your little jars.
- Your Lemon Curd is ready!
