Easy as Pie Lemon Curd

I was given a grocery bag full of lemons not so long ago and I've been needing to find some new ways to use them. My fave baking is a Lemon Meringue Pie but these days time doesn't permit making one as my recipe is everything made from scratch so today I tried my hand at lemon curd! It's so versitle, you can use it for a cupcake filling, mini lemon meringue pies, on toast or just as is!

It's so much easier than I expected it to be and it made a huge jar full PLUS it stores in the fridge for 2-3 weeks - AMAZING!

Here is the recipe - I ended up using 4 small lemons and the taste is perfect:

INGREDIENTS

200g Butter

1 Cup Caster Sugar

Grated Rind & Juice of 3 Lemons

4 Eggs

METHOD

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Once fully melted, add in the remaining ingredients and whisk continuously while the curd thickens and comes to the boil. Once it is about to boil vigorously, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

When it is cold enough, pop into a jar (I just used an old large pasta sauce jar I had in the cupboard) and store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. It will thicken up even more in the fridge.

Enjoy however you like!
