Lemon Glaze (or Lemon Curd)

This is the recipe that goes with the Blueberry Scones that I made. This is the perfect accompaniment to the scones! I agree with Jaden - this stuff would be really great as a gift.



Lemon Glaze (or Lemon Curd)
Jaden's Steamy Kitchen

3 lemons
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter

Zest the lemon with a microplane grater. Cut each lemon in half and juice the lemons. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs and sugar. Whisk constantly and make sure the mixture does not come to a boil (or the eggs will curdle). When the mixture is hot, turn the heat to low and whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue cooking on low for 6 minutes until the lemon glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

This lemon glaze recipe makes a fantastic gift when canned.

    Curious....with eggs in the recipe, how would you suggest canning this?

    I'm not sure - check out Jaden's Steamy Kitchen...it's her recipe and her suggestion. I think putting it in a nice mason jar is perfect, but not sure how long it will last.

    This looks so delicious and thick enough to sandwich between macarons too! :)

    I haven't tried making macaroons yet, but they're definitely on my list of things to try out in the kitchen. This would be great with them!

    Lemon curd is only good for two weeks in the fridge. I did read you could freeze it but I have not done this yet.
