My grandmother, who was a great cook, brought this recipe with her from England. I use it as a spread on toast, for filling in a cake or on top of ice cream.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
Directions:
1. In the top of a double boiler over boiling water, melt butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, lemon juice and peel. Cook over simmering water for 1 hour or until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
2. Pour into containers. Store in the refrigerator. Use over cake or spread on toast or muffins. Yield: 3 cups.
