Lemon Curd

This classic lemon curd recipe uses equal quantities of fresh lemon juice and sugar, so that it's bright and tart. It couldn't be simpler to make: Just whisk the ingredients over moderately low heat until the first bubble appears. Lemon curd is perfect on scones, on toast, swirled into yogurt, or dolloped on a Dutch baby. But feel free to riff with other tangy fruit flavors, too—you can make curd with lime juice, grapefruit juice, passionfruit juice, and more. Here's our guide to making curd from (almost) any fruit.
