This tangy and sweet lemon curd is quick to whip up the night before serving for the perfect addition to almost any baked good. Offer this lemon curd to friends for a homemade gift from your kitchen.
Place eggs, sugar, salt, lemon juice and lemon zest in a saucepan. Whisk until combined, then place over low heat.
Stir constantly, until mixture thickens, about 4-6 minutes. On very low heat, add butter and stir until smooth. Strain lemon curd into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool about 10 minutes, then refrigerate overnight.
