I had a ton of lemons I had to use up and found a lemon curd recipe on Good things catered, Katie’s blog. I knew my mom loved lemon anything and she was visiting, so I thought I would whip it up. Just be careful and keep the temp low and cook slow…Don’t speed up the cooking process!! I also doubled the recipe! Here is the original recipe!
Enjoy!
From Katie’s Blog:
Lemon Curd
Williams-Sonoma

5 egg yolks

Grated zest of 2 lemons

-Add the lemon juice and zest and whisk for 1 minute more.

Add to scones, vanilla cupcakes, muffins, desserts, top vanilla cookies, add to tarts, etc…Very good addition to many desserts and morning treats!
