This meyer lemon curd is tart, lightly sweet, and impossibly creamy. Seriously, I want to bathe in it! Oh and it's SO easy! Pair it with ice cream, toast or fluffy pancakes with fresh blueberries. Divine!

Serves: ~1⅔ cups
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup honey
  • finely grated zest from 3 meyer lemons (~ 2 teaspoons worth)
  • ¾ cup meyer lemon juice, about 3 lemons as meyers tend to be bigger
  • 6 Tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
  • pinch sea salt
Instructions
  1. Whisk eggs and honey together in a sauce pan then add lemon juice and zest and whisk smooth.
  2. Set pan over medium low heat and whisk constantly for about 8 minutes. Do NOT let mixture boil or it'll cook the eggs.
  3. Once curd has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, add butter and pinch salt and stir in until melted and mixed.
  4. Remove from heat, strain curd through a fine mesh sieve into glass jars.
  5. Let curd cool completely then keep refrigerated or store for up to a year in the freezer.
