Comment préparer Luscious Lemon Curd

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 4 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup fresh lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and registers 168°F (76°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Be diligent in stirring to prevent scorching.
**Do not boil.** Boiling will curdle the eggs.
Remove from heat immediately and whisk in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, until fully incorporated and smooth. Whisk in the zest of 2 lemons.
Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps or bits of egg. This step is optional but will result in a smoother curd.
Let the lemon curd cool completely before transferring it to airtight jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
For gifting, consider adding a festive label and ribbon!
