Lemon Curd

AmountIngredient
3eggs
2egg yolks
8 tablespoons (1 stick)unsalted butter or margarine, cut up
3/4 cupgranulated sugar
2 tablespoonslight brown sugar
1/2 cupfresh lemon juice (about 3 medium-size lemons)
Pinchsalt

Preparation Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in the top of a double boiler or in a large heatproof bowl set over, not in, boiling water. Cook over moderately high heat, beating constantly with a whisk or an electric mixer on low speed, until the mixture is the consistency of thick honey - 15 to 20 minutes.

2. Pour into 2 sterilized (see below), 1/2 pint preserving jars; cover tightly. Or let cool to room temperature and transfer to a tightly covered container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks in the sterilized jars, up to 5 days in the covered container. Makes about 1 pint.

Sterilization: Wash and sterilize jars, their dome lids, and screw bands by boiling them in a kettle of water for at least 10 minutes. As soon as curd is ready, remove one jar at a time from the water, using jar grippers, and fill it, leaving 1/4 inch of head space. Wipe the rims clean with a damp clean cloth and seal.
