Turkey Free Lemon Curd

Bright, silky, and intensely citrusy, this lemon curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spread on absolutely everything — toast, scones, tart shells, or a spoon straight from the jar. It's built entirely from pantry and produce staples: eggs, fresh lemons, sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt, with no meat-based ingredients anywhere near it. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and gives you that glossy, spoonable texture that store-bought versions rarely nail. Whisking the butter in cube by cube off the heat is the move that makes it extra smooth and rich without tipping into greasy territory. Straining the finished curd through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a perfectly clean, velvety result every single time. It sets up beautifully in the fridge and keeps well, so you can make a batch ahead and have something genuinely special on hand all week.
