High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Paleo Lemon Curd

Bright, tangy, and silky smooth, this lemon curd is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more special — whether you're spreading it on toast, swirling it into yogurt, or spooning it straight from the jar. Most store-bought lemon curds are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup or other processed sweeteners, so making your own is really the only way to know exactly what's in it. Here, honey does all the sweetening, bringing a gentle floral depth that pairs beautifully with the sharp citrus punch from fresh-squeezed lemon juice and zest. Coconut oil replaces the butter you'd find in a traditional curd, giving it that same luscious, glossy texture without any dairy. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling and builds a thick, velvety consistency that sets up perfectly after a chill in the fridge. Straining the finished curd through a fine-mesh sieve is the small extra step that takes it from homemade to genuinely impressive. Once you've made it this way, going back to a jar from the store is going to feel like a real downgrade.
