Bright, tangy, and silky smooth, this lemon curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon straight from the jar. It gets its sweetness entirely from honey and its richness from coconut oil, so there's no refined sugar, no butter, and absolutely nothing artificial hiding in the mix. Store-bought curds and dessert spreads are notorious for sneaking in synthetic dyes and preservatives, but every single ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — fresh citrus, eggs, and a handful of clean pantry staples. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and builds that gorgeous, glossy texture you'd expect from a classic curd. Straining it through a fine-mesh sieve at the end gives you an ultra-smooth finish that looks and tastes genuinely luxurious. Spread it on grain-free toast, swirl it into coconut yogurt, or use it as a filling for paleo tarts — it's endlessly versatile once it's chilling in your fridge.

Whisk the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and salt together in a medium heatproof bowl until smooth and fully combined.
Set the bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and a finger drawn through leaves a clean line — and registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 10–12 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
