Easter

Made lemon curd this weekend for Easter.  YUM! 

2 lemons (recipe called for three, but I only used two)
1-1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
6 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup lemon juice

Zest each of the lemons and place into food processor with the sugar.  Pulse until the zest is completely incorporated into the sugar.  In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add sugar until well mixed.  Add each egg, one at a time, and beat well.  Finally, add the lemon juice and mix once more.

In a deep saucepan, add the mixture and cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken - approx 10 minutes.  You don't want this to boil - cook until just short of that.  Make sure to stir constantly as this can easily scorch.  Chill and eat with biscuits, croissants, etc.
