Lemon Curd
A nutritious lemon curd recipe using no refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 6 pastured egg yolks
- 3 lemons
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
- 1/4 cup grass-fed organic unsalted butter cut into chunks
- Pinch fine sea salt
- Ice for ice bath
Instructions
- Wash and dry lemons. Zest them and then juice them.
- In a heat-proof bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the butter. (Remember that the ice is for the ice bath ;)
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir it frequently. Once the mixture thickens (about 5-8 minutes), start adding the butter one chunk at a time.
- Once the butter is melted, remove the bowl and put it into a larger bowl with ice to stop the cooking.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You will have zest in your lemon curd. If you would like a smoother consistency (we do), then push it through a fine mesh strainer before it cools.
