Easy Lemon Curd

My neighbor/landlord has another property in the country side and she gave me a bunch of Meyer lemons for the holiday - how awesome is that! I was trying to figure out what to do with all of them and decided to slightly modify a recipe I found online and make it a bit more Paleo compatible and less sugary.
