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.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yields: about 4 cups

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • ⅔ cup raw honey or maple syrup (sub for 2 tsp gelatin and 2 pkts stevia dissolved in ⅔ cups of cold water)
  • 1 cup fresh Meyers lemon juice
  • zest from 2 lemons (strained)
  • 6 TBS ghee
  • pinch of unrefined sea salt


Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, yolks, honey (or substitute), lemon juice, and zest.
  2. Transfer to a small pan and heat on low.
  3. Add ghee and stir until dissolved.
  4. Bring heat to medium and continue to cook/stir for about 6 minutes until mixture thickens and tiny little bubbles begin to come up.
  5. Turn off heat and mix in the salt. 
  6. Immediately pour into 1 cup mason jars and let cool in the fridge.
