Ingredients
  

  • 6 large egg yolks from the meringues we made, or freeze the egg whites for another time
  • 300 g sugar
  • 100 g lemon juice from the bottle
  • 50 g butter salted or unsalted it doesn't matter

Method
 

  1. Place sauce pan on your kitchen scale. Add 6 egg yolks and 300g sugar to a saucepan and whisk together until combined.
  2. Pour in 100g bottled lemon juice and whisk again.
  3. Place over medium heat and stir with a wooden spatula constantly, scraping the bottom and corners of the pan, until it just comes to a simmer.
  4. As soon as it simmers, take it off the heat and drop in 50g butter. Stir until fully melted.
  5. Keep whisking until the curd thickens to a spoonable consistency.
  6. Pour straight into a jar and leave to cool before putting the lid on and transferring to the fridge.
