Lemon Curd
Lemon curd is a British staple that is both tangy and sweet, perfect for shortbread or jarred and given as a gift! The best part is there are only three ingredients; egg yolks, lemon juice, and sugar. Combine the yolks and sugar, add the lemon juice, and heat over medium-low. The important thing for curd is to stir constantly and cook it low and slow. You can’t go wrong!
