Ingredients
Zest from six lemons
¾ c fresh lemon juice (juice those lemons you just zested)
¾ c white sugar
4 eggs (or just the yolks for an even smother curd), beaten
10 drops Lemon vitality essential oil or Citrus Fresh Vitality essential oil
½ c butter, cubed
Pinch of salt
Directions
1. Put all ingredients into the top part of a double boiler (or a smaller pan inserted into a larger pan, with the larger pan having water in it.) While you can do it in a single pan, you risk cooking your egg a little.)
2. With medium-low heat, bring to a summer, whisking constantly.
3. Whisk while simmering for two minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
4. Put in cute containers to give to friends, or store in the fridge for your own yummy use!
