Lemon Curd Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Directions

1. In the top of a double boiler, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in lemon juice, butter and lemon peel. Cook over simmering water for 15 minutes or until thickened.

TIPS: I didn't use a double boiler, just a heavy pan. I just stirred constantly on low.  This was SOO good. You can use it for pie filling, a RICH pudding, on cookies, on scones.
