Instructions (6 steps)

01Finely grate the zest of 6 limes and squeeze the juice.
02Cut the butter (100g) into cubes.
03Lightly beat the eggs (4 eggs) and place them into a saucepan with the caster sugar (200g) and lime juice and zest. Mix together.
04Place the pan on the hob over a low heat. Whisk regularly until the curd has thickened. It should leave a coating over the back of the spoon when lifted out.
05Once thickened, remove the lime curd from the heat. Add the butter and whisk until the butter has melted.
06Pass your lime curd through a sieve to remove the pieces of lime zest.For best results, I recommend storing the curd with the zest left in and the passing it through a sieve just before using. This will allow the flavour to develop.
