Pistachio Free Lemon Curd

Bright, silky, and intensely lemony, this homemade curd is the kind of thing that makes you want to spread it on absolutely everything — toast, scones, yogurt, or straight off the spoon. It comes together with just six simple ingredients: eggs, sugar, fresh lemon juice and zest, butter, and a pinch of salt. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled so the eggs cook slowly and evenly, giving you that luxuriously smooth, glossy texture without any scrambled bits. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end adds richness and a beautiful sheen that store-bought versions rarely achieve. Straining the finished curd through a fine-mesh sieve is the small extra step that takes it from good to genuinely restaurant-quality. Since every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, there's zero guesswork about what's in the jar. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
