Easy Lemon Curd

Directions

1. 1
   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs.
2. 2
   Stir in butter and cook over medium-low heat whisking vigorously and continuously until the curd is thick enough to hold a ripple mark when the whisk is lifted from the curd and the first bubbles appear on the surface (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
3. 3
   Transfer to a bowl then cover the curd using plastic wrap spread directly over the curd.
4. 4
   Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using or up to 1 week.
