Procrastination Food from the Garden


As a student in my early twenties I loved uni, however always looked for ways to avoid study. One of my procrastination hobbies was cooking and today twenty years later I am doing the same thing! Today I made yummy Lemon Butter. If you are lucky enough to have a lemon tree or a friend with a lemon tree you will be bombarded with juicy lemons this time of year. This Lemon Butter recipe is easy and fairly quick. It is also a great spread for toast for a late night study snack. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 
4 Eggs
3/4 cup of castor sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoon finely grated rind
125 grams chopped butter
Method:
Place the eggs and sugar into a heatproof bowl
Place bowl over the pan of barely simmering water and whisk constantly until the sugar is dissolved
Add lemon juice, lemon rind and butter
Whisk mixture for 20mins until it is smooth and the butter is melted and thick enough to cover the spoon
Pour into sterilised jars and place in the fridge.
