Lemon curd is actually very easy to make and is very good on scones, in a tart, or as a pudding with cream.
3 large eggs
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)

In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes thick This will take about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps. Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the lemon zest and let cool. The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Cover immediately with plastic wrap (so a skin doesn't form) and refrigerate.
