Ingredients

355 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice

6 eggs, beaten

225 g unsalted butter, softened

200 g white sugar

60 ml freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a 2-liter saucepan, combine the lemon juice, beaten eggs, softened butter, white sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to boil. This should take about 8 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the zesty spread from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to keep the surface soft. This should take approximately 30 minutes. Pour the spread into clean jars, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator.
