Simple Lemon Curd

curd

I have always loved lemon.  I think I inherited this from my Dad.  Growing up my Mom always made him a lemon pie for his birthday and I even requested the same thing one year.  I am a lemon addict.  I love it in my water, squeezed over my fish and in desserts.  I also think lemon is a necessity in the summer.  There is something about a lemony dessert that screams summer.  What I love about this lemon curd is how simple it is to make.  I called it simple for a reason! What makes it so simple is there is no need to zest or squeeze a ton of lemons.  Using half freshly squeezed juice and half bottled still gives the perfect lemony flavor.  This lemon curd is delicious with a little coconut whip cream and fruit, inside a crepe or even by itself!  I like it super tart but if you prefer lemon curd a bit sweeter just add more honey or stevia to taste.  Enjoy!
