Thermomix Lemon Curd

Ingredients
240g (1 cup/8 ozs) sugar
lemon peel of 2 organic lemons
125g (1 stick/4 ozs) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 x 60g eggs
150g (½ cup plus 1 tablespoon) freshly squeezed lemon juice (3-4 lemons)

Preparation
Place sugar into TM bowl, mill for 15 seconds on speed 10.
Add lemon peel, mill for 20 seconds on speed 10.
Scrape down jug, add butter, eggs and lemon juice. Cook for 20 minutes at 90°C on speed 2, without measuring cup.
Insert measuring cup and mix for 25 seconds at speed 6. Pour into 2 hot washed jam jars with twist-off lids and close immediately. Cool completely before storing in the fridge.

My tips/alterations: *I used Meyer lemons which gave this a fantastic yellow colour. *I used sterilised jars to ensure these would keep as long as possible. *I love to make mini tart cases and fill them with lemon curd for a quick dessert. * This can be served on wholemeal toast for breakfast.
