Lemon Curd Without Butter

My friend picked out this recipe because it is made without butter.

Wash lemons carefully and zest , by taking care not to get the white pith.

Juice the lemons.

Put the zest into a pan , add the cornflour mixed with lemon juice.

Add the sugar.

Whisk lightly over a slow heat until dissolved.

Beat eggs , and then add to the lemon mix , continuously whisking.

Turn up the temperature a little and whisk continually until the mixture thickens.

Remove from heat then pour directly into jam jars.

After they have cooled , refrigerate.
