This is the first time I’ve made lemon butter in any way. I really like it! I misread the recipe adding zest of 3 instead of 2 lemons and it was still great – beautiful lemon flavour. My neighbour who makes lemon butter stovetop all the time did a taste test for me and gave it a thumbs up. Will definitely be making again. Thanks for sharing your recipe ?
i loved this recipe. made 2 smallish jars .
Absolutely amazing recipe so so good reminds me of my nanas lemon curd almost as good as hers ??
Needed to get rid of some egg yolks, so just finished making this recipe. Made enough to fill one of the Roses Lime Marmalade jars. I put zest in from all three lemons, and if the scraper is anything to go by, it has most certainly passed the lick test!! I can’t wait to try it once cooled. Thanks!
Do you use normal butter or unsalted butter?
I would use unsalted
This is the best i have ever tasted & so easy to make & it made 2 jars. I give it a 12 out of 10 lol
Absolutely yummy. Will be making much more of this.
I make this all the time. I triple the recipe and it comes out amazing. Make it for family and friends for Christmas.
