Luscious Lemon Butter

For any who are not acquainted with the goodness that is lemon butter (also known as lemon curd), it is a deliciously tangy but creamy concoction which can be used as a spread a bit like jam (or eaten by the spoonful straight out of the jar, if your self control is of a similar level to my own).

I made a double batch a week or so ago with some homegrown lemons, and thought I would share the recipe here. It's a morphing of my Grandmother's & another friend's, so thank you to
them!

Lemon Butter

4 eggs
1 cup lemon juice (fresh!!)
zest of 2 lemons
1 1/2 cups white sugar
125g butter

Whisk first 4 ingredients together, add chopped butter, place in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, and keep stirring until it thickens (this will take a little while).
Ladle into sterilised jars, and away you go! (It will thicken a bit more when it's cooled).

It will keep for a month or so in the fridge (maybe more).

yum :)
