What you Need:
Zest of 2 small lemons
Juice of 3 Lemons
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of Butter
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
Jar – makes approximately 400-500g
Method:
Grate rind from 2 lemons, Place rind gratings in a saucepan with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of butter, pinch of salt and the juice from the lemons. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves then add in 2 beaten eggs and continue stirring over low heat until the mixture thickens.
This all comes together very quickly. I think the whole process took less than 15 minutes. Keep stirring as the mixture becomes thicker. (takes on a honey consistency) Continue to stir for another couple of minutes then let cool.
Pour into a cleaned (and sterilised) jar. It is preferable to sterilise the jar by placing in boiling water for a few minutes first. Store in the fridge and eat on fresh bread or toast. Will last 2 – 3 months in the fridge, but will probably be eaten before then! :)
