Lemon Curd (with Lavender Butter)

If you love Lemon Curd (like we do) then you have to try this recipe!

INGREDIENTS:

• 5 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Strained juice from 3 lemons
• 1 Tsp lemon zest
• 1 jar of GREENSPICE Lavender Butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine the egg yolks with sugar and mix well
2. Add the lemon juice (make sure the egg yolks and sugar are well mixed otherwise the lemon juice will scramble the yolks)
3. Add in the lemon zest
4. Cook on low heat and constantly stir with a spatula
5. When the color starts to get opaque and you see little bubbles on the edges and the curd thickens take off the heat
6. Pour the curd through a mesh into a mixing bowl (this catches the lemon zest so the curd remains nice and smooth)
7. Add Lavender Butter to the bowl (make sure it is at room tempurature)
8. Mix the curd and butter until it is smooth and consistent
9. Pour into clean and dry jars
10. Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks

It's great in oatmeal, on pancakes or waffles, on ice cream . . . or straight from a spoon

Enjoy!
