Lemon Curd

Lynn demonstrates how to make Lemon Curd.  This is delicious on toast, can be used in desserts and is super easy to make.  This recipe is from the Barefoot Contessa.  Makes about 3 cups.

Ingredients:

  • 3 lemons
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • ¼ pound unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 extra-large eggs
  • ½ cup lemon juice (3-4 lemons)
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Using a carrot peeler, remove the zest of 3 lemons, being careful to avoid the white pith.  Put the zest in a food processor fitted with the steel blade.  Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is very finely minced into the sugar.

Cream the butter and beat in the sugar and lemon mixture.  Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and then add the lemon juice and salt.  Mix until combined.

Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.  The lemon curd will thicken at about 170° F, or just below simmer.  Remove from the heat.  Strain to remove any lumps.   Cool or refrigerate.
