Steps:
- Zest the lemons and juice the lemons.
- Combine the zest, juice, butter, and sugar and place in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Beat the eggs and add to the mixture.
- Keeping the heat very low, cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened - 15 minutes or so.
- Do not let the mixture boil or the eggs will curdle.
- Strain the curd to get out large bits of zest and any bits of egg that scrambled into small bowls or jars.
- Refrigerate.
