From hamentaschen to tarts; pies to bars; cakes and cookies... lemon curd is just about good on ANYTHING! That is if lemon is your thing. I personally love the combo of sweet, salty, sour... there is something so satisfying about it! This curd in particular I made with a mix of regular lemons and Meyer lemons. Meyer lemons are a bit sweeter than the kind we are used to therefore you can use less sugar when mixing the two varieties. All links above are to previous recipes that use lemons or lemon curd.

Directions/
Whisk together zest, lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and salt in a medium heavy saucepan. Add butter substitute (or butter) all at once and cook over moderately low heat, whisking constantly, until curd is thick enough to hold marks of whisk and first bubbles appear on surface, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour curd through a fine sieve into a bowl, then chill, covered.
