Rye 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 from the spoon. It comes together with just six simple ingredients: eggs, sugar, fresh lemon juice and zest, butter, and a pinch of salt. No flour, no grains, no hidden fillers — just pure citrus goodness that happens to be completely free of rye and any grain-based thickeners. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and builds a luxuriously smooth texture, while whisking in cold butter at the end gives the curd that glossy, velvety finish you'd expect from a professional pastry kitchen. Straining it through a fine-mesh sieve removes any zest solids and guarantees a perfectly clean, restaurant-quality result. Once it's chilled and set, you'll have a jar of something genuinely special that store-bought versions simply can't match.
