Lemon Butter Recipe – Bread Spread
Lemon Butter. Home made with organic lemons.
This is one of my favorite recipes as I remember clearly eating home made lemon butter on toast at my Nana’s house when I was growing up. I wrote down this recipe one day as she reeled it off the top of her head. This is my special recipe which helps me remember my Nana now that she is not with us anymore. I hope you enjoy it too!
-
1 large or 2 small lemons
- 1 cup of sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- Jar – makes approximately 400-500g
Grate rind from 1 large or 2 small lemons, preferably organic ones from your own lemon tree. Place rind gratings in a saucepan with 1 cup of sugar, pinch of salt and the juice from the lemons. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves then add in 2 beaten eggs and continue stirring over low heat until the mixture thickens.
Pour into a cleaned (and sterlised) jar. It is preferable to sterilise the jar by placing in boiling water for a few minutes first. Store in the fridge and eat on fresh bread or toast. Will last 2 – 3 months in the fridge, but will probably be eaten before then!
