DIRECTIONS
FIRST, LET'S PREP!
Press egg yolks through a sieve set over a heavy saucepan.
Stir in sugar, lemon peel and lemon juice. Whisk just to combine.
NEXT, TIME TO COOK!
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Make sure to stir down the sides of the saucepan. Cook until mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add butter one piece at a time, stirring after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth.
Fill clean plastic freezer jars or hot glass jars. Chill until set, about 1 hour. Twist on lid. Label and freeze up to 1 year.
