Cinnamon Free Lemon Curd

Bright, tangy, and silky smooth, this lemon curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon straight from the jar. It's made entirely from scratch with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt — nothing more, nothing less. That simplicity is exactly what makes it so reliable for anyone navigating spice sensitivities, since store-bought curds and flavored spreads can hide unexpected seasonings in their ingredient lists. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and builds a luxuriously thick, glossy texture that sets up beautifully after a chill in the fridge. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives the curd its signature richness and that gorgeous, almost creamy finish. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve for a perfectly smooth result, then spread it on scones, swirl it into yogurt, or use it as a tart filling — the possibilities are genuinely endless.
