Method
1. Put the zest, juice, sugar and butter into a bowl and set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure that the base of the bowl does not touch the water.2. Stir until the butter and sugar have dissolved. Beat the eggs together lightly, and sieve into the lime mixture. Stir continuously, until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon; the curd will thicken further on cooling.
3. Pour into a clean bowl and leave to cool. Store in sterilised screw top jars in the refrigerator.

This is easy & gorgeous! Was ready to sieve if eggs scrambled as they went in but had heat down very low so was ok. Seemed to be stirring for ages after that with no sign of it getting thicker so eventually dared to turn the heat up a bit and it started to thicken much more quickly. Made it with lemons and limes, going to put it into 'jam' tarts and make more to give to colleagues as summer holiday presents, its lovely!
