Description
Learn how to make the perfect Lemon Curd. This curd is packed with citrusy flavours and has a velvety and creamy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 300g sugar
- 150g butter
- 1 large lemon, zest only
- 150ml lemon juice
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with boiling water and place over low heat.
- Place a mixing bowl over the saucepan; if the bowl touches the water, tip some of the water out.
- Remove the mixing bowl from the top of the saucepan.
- Place the eggs in the bowl and whisk until the mixture turns pale.
- Tip in the sugar and whisk in until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the butter, lemon zest and juice.
- Place the mixing bowl back on top of the saucepan. Whisk constantly until the mixture resembles a thick custard.
- Remove from the heat.
- Pour the curd into sterilized jars using a jam funnel and immediately seal with the lids.
- Serve it with whatever you like, but we would serve it on a No Bake Lemon Cheesecake. Enjoy!
Notes
- After the jars are sealed, they are best stored in a cool, dark place.
- Once the jar is opened, store in the fridge and consume within 1 month. It won’t last that long though!
