Course Sauces & Dips

Equipment

  • 1 heat proof bowl
  • 1 saucepan for the bain marie
  • 1 500g sterilized jar

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g block butter
  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 6 eggs slightly beaten
  • 5 lemons zested and juiced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a Bain Marie by placing a saucepan on a low to medium heat and add boiling water to it so it's simmering.
  • Place a heatproof bowl so it's resting on the saucepan. Make sure the water isn't touching the bowl.
  • Slightly beat the eggs together in a separate bowl and put all ingredients into the bowl over the heat.
  • Stir regularly for about 10 minutes until the curd leaves a clean line on the back of the spatula/spoon and it is the thickness of custard. Turn off the heat.
  • Sterilize the lids, inside the jars or Tupperware boxes with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Tip the water away and leave both the curd and jars to cool completely.
  • Pour the lemon curd into the sterilized jars, seal and store in the fridge. This is great to have inside cake, on cheesecake or even to eat on toast. Enjoy!
