| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 1½- to 2- quart saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, lemon juice and egg yolks.
|
2. Cook over the lowest possible heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to heavily coat the back of a spoon.
|
3. Do not let the mixture boil or the egg yolks will curdle.
|
4. Pour the curd into a small bowl and stir in the lemon peel. Refrigerate until ready to use.
|
5. Lemon curd is used as a filling for tarts and cakes such as Swiss Roll.
