Meyer Lemon Curd

This was a second attempt at lemon curd!  I had a whole bunch of Meyer lemons this time, but honestly they were all pretty tart like regular lemons :(  Still, this came out beautifully.  It was lighter than my last version, more of a cream than a thicker, more pasty thing, probably because of the smaller proportion of eggs.  A little less lemony, too.  Anyway, as I suspected, lemon curd is pretty much awesome however it comes out.

Process: zest+sugar in double boiler, whisk in lemon juice and eggs, whisk over boiler until thickened, take off heat, strain out zest, stir in butter, chill.  CONSUME.
