Easy Lemon Curd Recipe

Want to capture the taste of summer? Make this easy Lemon Curd that can be used in so many ways.
The Recipe:
Making homemade lemon curd is surprisingly simple, requiring just a few key ingredients and a bit of patience. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 4-5 fresh lemons
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Begin by zesting and juicing the lemons. You’ll need approximately 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice.
2. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a makeshift double boiler. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
4. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Once thickened, remove the bowl from the heat and gradually whisk in the cubed butter until melted and incorporated.
6. Strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or zest.
7. Transfer the lemon curd to sterilized jars and allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

I thought I was filming and actually, my phone died. ❤ I have been there. Love anything lemon. I am diabetic. I wonder if I can substitute sugar for Splenda?

[@southwesthomestead1234]

I’m not sure, I’m thinking you need some kind of thickener like sure gel which is sugar free.
