Xanthan Gum 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 spooning it over fresh fruit, swirling it into yogurt, or spreading it on a grain-free scone. The base is refreshingly simple: real eggs, fresh lemon juice and zest, honey, coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt. No starches, no stabilizers, no thickeners of any kind — just the natural emulsifying power of eggs and gentle heat doing all the work. Cooking it low and slow over a double boiler is the key move here, giving you that perfectly glossy, spoonable texture without any risk of scrambling the eggs or losing that vibrant citrus flavor. Straining the finished curd through a fine-mesh sieve takes it from homemade to genuinely luxurious. It's a great reminder that clean, whole-food ingredients don't need any shortcuts to deliver serious results. Once you've made your own, the jarred stuff at the store is going to feel like a real step down.
