Sweet-Tart Lemon Curd

Here is the recipe for the lemon curd I used is the recipe I posted for Lemon Curd Bars.

3 Large Eggs
3 Egg Yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh squeezed Lemon juice,(I add a bit more for a little tartness)
grated peel from 1 Lemon
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons)butter


TO MAKE THE LEMON CURD: Whisk together the egg yolks, eggs, and granulated sugar. Whisk in lemon juice. Cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 min.
Remove pan from the heat and stir in lemon peel and butter.Place the curd in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refigerate till cold, at least 30 minutes.

I usually keep this in a covered plastic dish in the refrigerater, then I have it handy to put on my toast, cookies or just eat it my the spoonfull!! yummm!!!
