Fresh Lime Curd

Instructions

• Place sugar, lime juice, butter, and lime zest in the top of a double boiler; stir over medium-high heat until butter melts.
• Temper eggs by mixing 2 tablespoons hot lime mixture into eggs, stir to blend.
• Reduce heat to medium until water simmers. Slowly whisk egg mixture into the lime mixture. Cook over the double boiler until lime mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool slightly and spoon into a clean, glass jar. Cover and refrigerate.
