Instructions
  1. Combine Lemon juice, Lemon zest, and Granulated sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler).
  2. Whisk constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Large eggs and Large egg yolks until lightly beaten.
  4. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the warm lemon mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  5. Add the Unsalted butter, one cube at a time, whisking until each cube is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, for 8-10 minutes, or until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  8. Pour the curd into a clean jar or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
