"description": "The Victorian invention that changed breakfast forever. Silky, tangy, intensely lemony, and spreadable on absolutely everything. She's been around since the 1800s and she's not going anywhere.",
"ingredients": [
"3 lemons, zested and juiced (approx 100ml juice)",
"200g caster sugar",
"3 eggs",
"2 egg yolks",
"100g butter, cubed"
],
"instructions": [
"Zest all three lemons then juice them. You need about 100ml of juice. Fish out any pips.",
"Whisk together caster sugar, eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest and juice in a heatproof bowl until smooth.",
"Place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water — the bowl must not touch the water. Stir constantly for 10-12 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.",
"Remove from heat. Add butter a few cubes at a time, stirring after each addition until fully melted and glossy.",
"Pour into sterilized jars while still warm. Cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. Keeps for up to 3 weeks."
