You won't get a better recipe than this one, give it a try.

5 large lemons
5 large new laid eggs
1 1/4lbs granulated sugar
8 oz good butter, cut up

Put a bowl over a pan of simmering water, and into it put the butter, sugar, lemon rind and juice; leave until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, beat the eggs well. When the butter has melted, and the sugar dissolved, strain the beaten eggs through a sieve into the bowl; stir frequently, until the curd thickens to coat the back of a wooden spoon - don't let the curd mixture boil, or the eggs will curdle. Should take about 20 - 30 minutes or so. Pour into pre-warmed jars - warm jars in a low oven for ten minutes or so; use a jam funnel), then either seal immediately, or leave until completely cold until sealing. Mkaes about 4 good-sized jars.

Granulated sugar will *not* make it gritty, it should be completely dissolved before the eggs are added.

A good fund raising preserve, this, as it commands a high price due to the ingredients. I make it for the WI , and the members buy it all before ti even gets to the table Laughing

Otehr curd worth making, IMO, are spiced apple ( apple pulp with cinnamon added) and fresh peach (eat it out fo the jar with a spoon Laughing

, that one!)
