Instructions
Combine the sugar, lemon rind and eggs in a saucepan and stir them with a whisk over medium heat for 3 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns pale.
Stir in the lemon juice and the butter and cook the mixture for another 5 minutes or until the sauce thinly coats the back of a wooden spoon, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Remove the lemon curd from the heat and let it cool.
Place it in a sealed container and let it chill so that it continues to thicken.
Store the lemon curd in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
