LEMON CURD.Recipe

• 250g Castor or Loaf sugar
• 2 eggs.
• rind 3 lemons
• juice 2 large lemons
• 100g butter.

Grate rind carefully, removing just the yellow "zest" but none of the white pith. If using loaf sugar, rub this over the lemons until all the yellow has been removed. Squeeze the juice from the fruit. Put all ingredients - except eggs - into double saucepan or basin over hot water and cook, stirring from time to time, until the margarine and sugar have melted.
Add the well-beaten eggs and continue cooking until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon. Put into jars and seal down.OR THESE
