Lemon Curd

Makes one jar

Ingredients

100g butter, softened

½ cup castor sugar

1 T lemon zest

3 L ALZU Free Range Eggs plus 1 ALZU Free Range Egg yolk

½ cup fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Method

Using an electric whisk, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add one ALZU egg at a time whisking constantly until well combined.

Add the juice, rind and salt and mix well.

Over a water bath (bain marie) gently cook the curd for 10 – 15 minutes (stirring constantly so that the eggs don’t scramble) until thick - the mixture should cover the back of a spoon.

Remove from the heat and cool.

Store in an airtight container.
