Meyer Lemon Curd

Good enough to eat by the spoonful, this curd can be used as a cake or tart filling or served with scones, muffins, or fresh fruit. Super Smooth!

We have a Meyer lemon tree and I needed something to do with them. This was one of the best recipes I tried. The curd is delicious on any number of baked goods, especially fresh hot gingerbread.

• Lemon curd keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.

• If substituting regular lemons, increase sugar to 3/4 cup.

You may need to cut back sugar if your Lemons are really sweet [I posted this recipe.]
