Lemon Curd
From our orchard to your table
One of our favorite ways to enjoy fresh lemons is in a rich, creamy lemon curd. This smooth, custard-like spread pairs beautifully with pastries and other sweet treats. For a bright and delicious start to your day, try a generous dollop of lemon curd over blueberry pancakes.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 lemons, zest and juice
- 6 large egg yolks
- 4 oz. cold butter, cubed
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Fill half a pot with water and bring to a simmer on medium high heat.
2. Whisk together the yolks, lemon, and sugar in a stainless-steel bowl until evenly combined.
3. Place the bowl on top of the pot and whisk constantly to prevent curdling.
4. Continue whisking until the liquid becomes pale yellow and thick, at about 170 degrees.
5. Turn off the heat, and slowly whisk in the butter one cube at a time.
6. Place the curd in a bowl or jar and cover with plastic wrap directly on top so that a skin does not form as it cools.
