Homemade Lemon Curd
Ever since I can remember, a jar of lemon curd has been a staple in my pantry! It’s perfect to use in baking recipes, and my favorite thing is to spread it on a freshly baked scone! Making homemade lemon curd is so easy, and it has a fresher and zingier flavor compared to store bought. This cooking basic is simple to master, and you’ll be making it time and time again! Be sure to try my Lemon Meringue Cake and Lemon Sauce too! If you love the bright, citrus-y flavor of lemons, this recipe is a no brainer! All made in one pot on the stovetop, it comes together quickly and easily.

Ingredient Notes
Lemon Juice: For the best results, use fresh-squeezed lemons, rather than bottled lemon juice. Eggs: Make sure that your eggs are fresh. (When you place them in a bowl of water, fresh eggs will sink to the bottom, while old eggs will float to the surface.)
The flavor of this homemade recipe is so much fresher and brighter than any you buy at the store. With just a few ingredients and steps, the hardest part is having the patience to let it cool before digging in!
