Lemon Curd. Beat egg yolks and
strain through sieve into a medium
heavy saucepan over a low heat.

to combine. Cook for 10-12 minutes
stirring continuously until the mixture

of a wooden spoon. Remove from
heat and stir until the mixture cools
slightly, stir in butter a piece at a
time until all is added. Add rind and
allow to cool slightly.
