The recipe:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 Tbs. grated lemon peel
2/3 cup lemon juice
3 large eggs
Bring the first four ingredients to a simmer in a large saucepan, stirring. Whisk eggs in separate bowl. Gradually whisk in several spoons of the hot butter mixture to temper. Add egg mixture to pan and stir over low heat until thick and the mixture leaves a path on the back of a spoon. Do not boil. Cover with plastic wrap and chill several hours or overnight. Or pour into individual jars and give to friends.
My Loco Lemons
Oh the pain of arriving at the beach to see MIL making a jar of this to give as a gift. I was reduced to begging. Which did pay off.
I’m glad begging paid off. I now have 7 bushels of lemons to go.
I would eat this by the spoonful, but what are you *supposed* to use it for?
We eat it by the spoonful, Marie, but it’s supposed to go on toast.
