Lemon curd sits in that elusive space between soothing and exciting. Its texture is smooth and comforting and its flavor is zesty, a delicious contradiction. Curd is easy enough to make, just stand by the pot - it calls for attention. Once made, the curd can be packed in a closely covered jar or container; it will keep well in the fridge.

Time 15m

Yield Generous 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups (250 grams) sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
About 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) freshly squeezed lemon juice (for 4 to 6 lemons)
1 stick (8 tablespoons; 4 ounces; 113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into chunks

Steps:

  • Whisk the sugar, eggs, corn syrup and lemon juice together in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Drop in the pieces of butter.
  • Put the saucepan over medium heat and start whisking. You want to get into the corners of the pan, so if your whisk is too big for the job, switch to a wooden or silicone spatula. Cook, continuing to whisk - don't stop - for 6 to 8 minutes, until the curd starts to thicken. When it is noticeably thickened and, most important, you see a bubble or two come to the surface, stop; the curd is ready.
  • Immediately scrape the curd into a heatproof bowl or canning jar or two. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface to create an airtight seal and let the curd cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.

This lemon curd is a bit too tart for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try adding a little more sugar next time.

This lemon curd is absolutely divine! The tangy, sweet, and creamy flavors are perfectly balanced, and the texture is smooth and velvety. I used it as a filling for a lemon meringue pie, and it was a huge hit with my family and friends.
