From the good folks at epicurious.com (with slight variations by moi), a classic version of lemon curd, a substance that says Spring like nothing else you can put into your mouth. I use lemon curd in dozens of way—often stirring it into an equal amount of freshly-whipped cream and layering with fresh berries. Other times, I spoon curd (either straight or cut with whipped cream) into a cooled coconut- or shortbread-type tart crust. The hens and I think any of these will make for a perfect Easter dessert.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice ; It must be fresh lemon juice, folks--or freshly-squeezed Meyer's lemon or lime juice, in which case you'll have Meyer's lemon or lime curd
2 teaspoons lemon zest ; finely grated, fresh
1/2 cup sugar

6 tablespoons Unsalted butter ; cut into bits

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk together juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in butter and cook over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubble appears on surface, about 6 minutes.

Strain lemon curd through fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Discard solids. Cover surface of curd with plastic wrap. Chill until cold, at least 1 hour.

This recipe yields about 1 1/3 cups of lemon curd. Curd can be chilled up to 1 week. You must keep the stuff well-covered so that it doesn’t pick up other aromas and flavors from its neighbors in the ‘frig.
