Better than Store-Bought Lemon Curd

I received domestically grown lemons.
It's easy to double boil by filling a shallow frying pan with boiling water, then once it cools, turn on the heat. As noted in Step 4, if it heats too quickly, it will turn lumpy, so double boil it slowly and steadily. Recipe by Hitomicchi

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the sugar and finely grated lemon rind in a bowl.
- 2
Whisk the egg and yolk, combine it with the lemon juice, then put it in a sauce pan. Strain the lemon juice with a tea strainer. That will give a nice result.
- 3
Mix together the ingredients from Step 1 and 2, and add the butter when the sugar dissolves.
- 4
Stir for over 10 minutes while heating the sauce pan in a double boiler. If you heat it directly over the heat, it will become lumpy, so heat slowly and steadily over a double boiler.
- 5
It is ready once it becomes shiny and you can see the bottom of the sauce pan while stirring.
- 6
Sudachi (citrus sudachi) variation: To make sudachi curd, use 2 sudachi, 20 g granulated sugar, 20 to 30 g butter, and 1 small egg (or just 1 yolk).

Refreshing Delicious Lemon Curd Refreshing Delicious Lemon Curd
I wanted to make an authentic tart, sweet, and tasty lemon curd.Be sure to strain the egg. Otherwise the egg whites will harden and form lumps. If the temperature of the hot water bath is too high, the egg will harden, and if it's too low, the curd will not thicken. Please adjust the temperature while mixing. It should keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator. Recipe by mocchi4141 cookpad.japan -

Once opened, it stays fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks if using butter, 4 weeks if using ghee, therefore the small jars. Hobby Horseman -
Lemon Curd for Macarons Lemon Curd for Macarons
Using the lemon macaron filling recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as reference, I came up with a sweet and sour version using less sugar and lemon juice. Mr. Herme's "Macaron" book is an indispensable macaron bible!Use the freshest eggs you can find.While using the double boiler, be absolutely sure to keep mixing with the whisk. (Be careful not to let the egg turn into scrambled eggs.) It will take a while for it to get to a loose custard-like consistency. So, slowly mix well over low heat. Recipe by yukoz1 cookpad.japan
