lemons are these amazing little bursts of sunshine and when i have them in the house, I feel like summer all over. sometimes I dream about living in a place where I can grow my own. maybe in my next life.
a few weeks ago, i attempted my first ever lemon curd recipe. it was for these little lemon meringue tarts i was making. something so delicious should be really difficult to make, right? WRONG. Lemon curd is super easy and the little lemon meringue tarts were even easier.
squeeze enough lemons to garner a cup of juice. my lemons were pretty juicy so i only needed four. before you juice them, remove the zest. you will need two tablespoons for this recipe.

start with 8 egg yokes.
Add 2/3 cups sugar and 2 tablespoon cornstarch to the yokes. Cook medium low heat, until combined, about 1 minute--whisking constantly. Add lemon juice and zest and cook till as thick as sour cream--about 4 minutes, again whisking constantly. Strain and add butter, stir...
and that's it!
lemon curd is like cheese, bacon and avacados--it makes everything better. use it soon and often!
Love the title and the tasty treat. You are super impressive!!
