Key Lime Curd image

This is so tangy and slightly sweet! I break from traditional curds by using bottled juice and no zest. But the bottled Key Lime juice gives it a great flavor depth!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 c bottled key lime juice
5 large eggs
1 1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 stick salted butter, cut into even tablespoons
2 pinch salt, only if using unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. In sauce pot, combine juice, sugar, and eggs with a whisk.
  • 2. Turn onto medium heat, and while whisking continuously, cook for 15 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter 1 tablespoon chunk at a time until melted and incorporated before adding next piece. If using salt add now.
  • 4. Pour through fine mesh strainer into glass bowl to remove any chunks of cooked egg.
