Ingredients

  • 6 whole eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • Juice + zest of 3 lemons
  • 1 cup butter, cut into small cubes

Preparation

Step 1

In a double boiler, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice + zest. Cook over medium heat until thick, stirring often (this takes about 10-15 minutes). Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, stir in the butter until melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before pouring into jars. Seal tightly and refrigerate. Consume within a few weeks.

Makes about 4 cups.
