***Homemade Lemon Curd
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup castor sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 tbs lemon zest
Method:
In a bowl over a pot of simmering water add eggs, sugar and lemon juice and continually whisk for about 10 minutes until mixture is blended and starts to thicken.
Remove from heat and pour mixture through a fine strainer in case there are any lumps. Cube butter into small pieces and whisk through until the butter melts and then add the lemon zest.
Cover with cling wrap so a skin does not form. Allow to cool.
