Lemon Curd

1. 1

   Whisk the lemon juice, sugar, and eggs together in a double boiler over simmering water, then stir continuously until the mixture begins to thicken; this could take 10 to 15 minutes.

2. 2

   As soon as the mixture thickens, add the butter and stir until it melts.

3. 3

   Remove the lemon curd from the heat and continue to stir until the butter is fully incorporated.

4. 4

   If its lumpy, push it through a fine-mesh sieve to smooth it out.

5. 5

   Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd and set it aside to cool.
