Instructions

1. Beat the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice together.
2. Pour into a small saucepan and stir over low-medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Add the cold cubed butter a couple of pieces at a time, stirring until each addition has melted and is fully incorporated. Do not let the curd reach a bubble at any point.
4. Keep cooking for a few more minutes until the curd is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, or leaves a thick coating on the side of the pan when you tilt it.
5. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl to catch any bits of cooked egg.
6. Pour into sterilised jars and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Seal the jars and store in the fridge.
