Brazil Nut Free Lemon Curd

Bright, silky, and intensely lemony, this homemade curd is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever bought the jarred version. It comes together with just six simple ingredients — eggs, sugar, fresh lemon juice and zest, butter, and a pinch of salt — so you know exactly what's going into every spoonful. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling, and whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives the finished curd that glossy, luxurious texture you're after. Straining it through a fine-mesh sieve makes it perfectly smooth, and after an hour in the fridge it sets into something genuinely special. Spread it on scones, swirl it into yogurt, layer it in a tart shell, or honestly just eat it off a spoon — no judgment here. Because every ingredient is whole and straightforward, there's zero concern about hidden tree nuts or shared-facility surprises that can sneak into store-bought versions.
