Meyer Lemon Curd



Ingredients:
  • 5 egg yolks
  • Juice from 2 large Meyer lemons, about 1/3 cup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions:
  • Add enough water to a medium saucepan to cover about 1 or 2 inches from the bottom. Simmer the water over medium heat. 
  • In a smaller saucepan, combine the egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice, whisk until well blended. Reduce the heat to low, place the smaller saucepan on top of the larger one. Whisk the egg mixture until thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes (the curd will turn light yellow and coats the back of the spoon). Remove from the stove, and add butter one piece at the time, allowing the piece to melt completely before adding another. Transfer to clean sterilized jars. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
