6 extra-large eggs
7 large lemons, all 7 zested and 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (2 stick, 8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract

Makes about 2 1/2 cups lemon curd

In a medium saucepan, add in the sugar and the lemon zest. Using your fingers between them, rub the sugar and zest together, this helps release the oils. Pour in the lemon juice and gently stir it into the sugar and zest mixture. In another bowl, add in the eggs and kosher salt. Using a fork or whisk, beat together until well blended. Pour the eggs mixture into the sugar and lemon juice mixture and whisk or stir together. Set the burner over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the lemon curd thickens and it reaches 170 degrees on an instant read thermometer or until it coats a rubber spatula. Using a large bowl with a mesh strainer, pour the curd and strain it. Once it strained, add and stir in the butter cubes and lemon extract until well combined and the butter melts. Pour the curd into a mason jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It will thicken up when it cools.

It should keep for about 2 weeks, longer if frozen.
