I have always dreamed of having a friend send me fresh citrus,

and just this month that dream became a reality when my dear friend, Natalie from the blog “Hey it’s a Good Life” sent me a box of gorgeous lemons. Of course, I had to make a batch of fresh Lemon Curd and show y’ all how to do it along the way. The moral of this story? Get ye a friend that will send you fresh citrus! 😉

Fresh Lemons from California for Homemade Lemon Curd

There’s something about citrus that I adore. Lemons especially, that cheerful color! The zippy pop of flavor that a bit of zest or fresh juice adds. I make this recipe year-round, in the winter citrus is an especially cheery reminder that somewhere it’s warm and sunny. And in the spring and summer, lemon always compliments fresh fruits. There are multiple uses for Lemon Curd in all seasons, and that’s why I think everyone should at least try their hand at making it.

Canning Lemon Curd. 

Lemon Curd can store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, but canning lemon curd is a simple process, and once canned it should remain stable for 2-3 months in a cool, dark location. Here is the National Center for Home Food Preservation for full canning instructions: canning Lemon Curd. I water bathed canned the jars for 20-minutes as instructed by National Center for Home Food Preservation. Now that are happily sitting on my pantry shelves.

Instructions

  1. Whisk the egg yolks and whole eggs together until combined.
  2. In a double boiler, over low heat combine the sugar, lemon zest and eggs. Whisking thoroughly, add the lemon juice and continue to whisk the mixture. As the mixture warms, add the butter chunks.
