Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan.
Step 2
Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, until mixture starts to get thick and bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 3
Remove saucepan from the heat; transfer curd into a large bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin forming. The curd will thicken more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.
