Ingredients
- Lemons, 4
- Eggs, 4 beaten
- Butter, 100g/ 3.5oz
- Granulated sugar, 450g/ 16oz
Method
- Grate the lemon rind very finely and strain the juice (optional, I just remove the pips as I like the texture the juice gives if unstrained). Care should be taken not to get any of the white pith of the lemons when grating.
- Put all the ingredients into a double saucepan, (Bain Marie or a basin inside a saucepan) over just boiling water.
- Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and it begins to thicken. Cook the mixture for two minutes allowing the water in the pan to boil. Do not begin to time the cooking until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Put into sterilized jars.
