Homemade Lemon Curd

Homemade Lemon Curd is delicious on toast for breakfast or drizzled on top of your cornflakes to give them a zingy lift.
Here's my late mums recipe .
6 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Cup Caster Sugar
100 gms Unsalted Butter
Grated rind of 2 lemons.

Place a stainless steel bowl over a saucepan of simmering water,whisk together the eggs,juice ,rind and sugar and cook,stirring constantly over a low heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
remove from the heat and add the butter in small cubes,a few at a time,whisk in to the mixture then pour the
mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
Pour into sterilized jars and leave to cool before putting the lids on.
