Lemon butter

Story by

Best served on warm sourdough toast, this easy lemon butter recipe is from Organic Gardener reader Sarah Musto's mum, Ann Musto.

Ingredients

  • 4 lemons
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1¼ cups castor sugar
  • 200g butter

Method

Zest the lemons, then juice them.

Beat the eggs, yolks and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the butter, juice and zest, and heat gently over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and creamy.

Pour into sterlized jars and store in the fridge for up to two weeks, if it lasts that long!
